Longing For Connection

 The Standing Ones

The Spirit of the Standing Ones call out to you, yes you and you

We call out to you to review, what do you see in us

Do you see in us a plus or do you see in us something to be pushed down

We have been around for a long time

And within our lines within our circles

We are inclined to carry much, much information about the past, much information about the future

We in many ways manage to suture up our wounds by learning from the past, and seeing into the future

 

Roots

For each braid of grass like root structure fans out

It fans out in search

As it searches ever so slowly  

As it goes inch by inch it pinches through, ever so softly, ever so respectfully, ever so carefully, to absorb all that it can learn, all that it can

Do you understand

There is much more of us that moves beneath the earth than above

 

Grown to Love

Now some of you have grown to love our presence have grown to love our essence, have grown to love our canopy, have grown to love what we provide for thee

Yes, my dears we are here, the Standing Ones

 

Standing Still

Now to many of you who view us as standing still, we gradually move up that hill, we gradually move down that hill, we gradually move across that plain

And just the same most of you see us as stationary

We must move for survival, we must move for change

For there is a rearrangement of our environment taking place

And we need to keep up the pace, adapt

And as we learn to adapt, we tap into the information sources that we receive daily

For we may sway in the breeze, we may crash to our knees

But below your knee we continue to squeeze more and more hair-like tendrils that continue to reach out further and further

 

Need for Information

For our need for information, our need for wisdom is deep

The older we are the more we store

But keep in mind my dears we don’t store it just for us

But rather we share on the plus side

No matter what the species, no matter the size

We have eyes for those in need

And if we are to succeed as a species, we need to help those in need

 

Die Off

Now many of you are well aware that in a lot of cases we do not succeed

As in there are a certain amount of trees that die off, so to speak

As in they don’t get to peak up to the sunlight for the competition is great

And as a species we anticipate that only strongest will survive

 

Mother Tree

But on the other hand, the Mother Trees are there to help all thrive

She may be selective, she may be directive, she knows who needs it most

In most cases those who receive the help they need, succeed

Therefore, my dears the next time you look at us with indifference

There is more to us beneath the ground than above

But know that no matter what, we send out our love to you each and every day

 

Stay in Our Presence

You find you like to stay in our presence, you know not why

But you spy the fact that when you take a track through the woods, you feel free, you feel at ease

Often times a breeze comes up when you least expect it and yet you feel settled, you feel calm

You feel you belong next to Standing Ones

There is no accident for how you feel

 

Steel Time Away

Therefore, my dears we want to make it perfectly clear, take out part of your day, steel time away, stand in our presence, feel our essence, stay for a bit

For when you receive from us, we receive from you

For the more you stand in our presence, the more you feel our essence, the calmer you feel, the better you feel

You feel a sense of belonging, you feel a sense of longing

Yes, my dears we fill the air with essences for you breathe in, breathe out

 

Touch

Stand next to a trunk, reach out touch

Leave your hand there grow quiet, listen, wait, anticipate

You can relate to us, as we can relate to you

Therefore, my dears never fear, we are near

 

Sense of Longing

Let’s be clear we are here for you, for you to be in our presence, for you to feel our essence, for you to feel a sense of belonging, for you to feel a sense of longing

And that longing is a longing for connection,

There was a time, there was a space

Whereas humans you interlaced the grace of understanding

For you had an appreciation for the land, you felt the land, you connected with the land, and everything on it

Do you understand

 

That View Can Change

Many of you in your busy world who are separate from the land, do not understand what the land or the trees, or the forest, or the animals, have to offer you

Now that view can change

But in order for it to change you need to rearrange your thought forms

For you are just one in the Animal Kingdom

You are not the One

Many of us see your presence, many of us feel your essence, and in that presence and in that essence, we see you have forgotten your role

Rather than being on unequal terms where you continue to churn the message that you need more

 

Shore Up Reserves

We attempt to shore up our reserves for in order for your need to succeed you need to pull back, reassess, take a different tract

For my dears it’s all about balance, it’s all about needs

And for the Human Race to succeed balance and needs, are needed to succeed

As our populations dwindle, as our populations disappear, we all want to be clear balance is necessary to keep a state of equilibrium

For without equilibrium, without balance it is like a ship without a rudder, it’s like a car without a brake

Therefore, we the Standing Ones shore up our reserves and we work to adapt, one root, one branch, one trunk, one canopy at a time

You are inclined not to see this change much

For you are no longer in touch with our need to succeed

 

Breed

For at this present time in order for you to succeed, you need to continue to be able to breed

Keep in mind that as you continue to create items that are not natural

Items that do not break down ever, no matter how clever you may think you are

The star of the day will find a way, as in rebalance

We the Standing Ones watch from above, we the Standing Ones watch from below, we the Standing Ones watch from the middle, we the Standing Ones that’s the way we go

We have many accesses to your events

And as you progress, as you regress, we are aware and we share it with others of our species

Therefore, keep in mind that the signs that you put up are not static

 

Does it Belong

They send a clear message

For my dears, we want to make it perfectly clear, as usual we are on the receiving end

For the ends of those hair-like tips that reach out further and further are the most sensitive parts of us

And therefore, they feel it first, does it belong or should it go

Therefore, know that as Standing Ones, we are Wisdom Keepers, we are Wisdom Sharers

The speed of our message may be slow, but that’s the way we go, slow and steady as she goes

 

Allow

We the Standing Ones embrace you in our love

We wait for your presence; we send down our essence

Allow the Filtered Pheromones to alight on you

Allow the Earth Energies to flow through you

Allow the touch of a trunk to send through Healing Energies of belonging to you

 

Other Life Forms

Now move around the tree and see what other life forms are there

For we embrace all from the simple Creepy Crawlers that help in the breakdown of us

To the birds who savor the fruit, who extract the bugs

To the Four-Legged Ones who create a home

But then again, they’re not alone the Feathered Ones also are there and not to forget the ants

The ants go marching two by two as they navigate up and down our trunk

The snakes, the salamanders, the Tree Toads too

Many of you are unaware who chooses to share their life with us

Butterflies forming between the ground and the leaf layer

Birds chirping one by one

Squirrels chattering not to be undone

Owls whoo whoowing, waiting for the sun

Eagles and hawks hold on aloft

Waiting for the day that they can pick up their prey

Animals swinging from branch to branch  animals attempting to enhance their camouflage by using us as a background

Now there are also the leaf munchers in our midst, and they like all have their time

Then there are the microorganisms that are in line for our breakdown

Then there is the sound of the leaves, as they rub in the breeze

The sound of the trunks as they squeeze past each other

Then there is the artistic display of leaves changing color, of snow landing on a branch

Yes, my dears, nature loves to enhance trees

 

Our Zone

For as we stand all alone in our own zone, we don’t need a phone, all we need is our roots and our shoots

Our roots to send messages through, our shoots to send pheromones through

Yes, my dears we want to make it perfectly clear, we are here for you, as you are here for us

And that my dears, is a plus, that my dears could also be a balance

You just have to see it as such

Now we repeat we love you ever so much and we look forward to your fond touch as in your touch of appreciation, your touch of recreation
