(9) WHY TREE STANDS TALL

Then, mother Earth turned to her child, great grandmother tree, and said: tree, you are the living green standard of the biosphere. You provide home for many creatures of the animal kingdom. You give fruit and seed. Only the clouds know the sky better than you.

In your sturdy trunk is your power. Not only does your trunk keep count of the Earthly round of time, but it is like the axis that runs from my north to south magnetic poles.

Your roots below and branches above show how my two poles work for me. One pole receives light and cosmic radiation like your branches spreading to the sky. My other pole releases all my messages of life through the endless root system of galactic time.

Tree, your trunk carries the knowledge of all that I am as a child of the cosmos. You are a mirror image of myself. We are both strung upon a common axis turning on a common universal spin.

Your underground roots mirror your branches in the sky. From the cosmic sky all energy comes into your branches to feed the biosphere. From my cosmic core the energy of time radiates back through your roots into your trunk.

Tree, only time can take you from your roots and release you again to the nurturing Earth. At the end of my time of becoming, my youngest child will come. In the child's youth, the child will come to know you. You will help and offer yourself to this child. But the child will forget about time. Forgetting about time, the child will tear and cut you early from your roots. When this happens stand firm. If the forgetting is so great, that my youngest child no longer understands that tree and human have a common root in time, then you must be ready to deliver your message of the Earth.

Tree stood noble and erect, her piney branches beautifully raised in unison to the great sky. She felt all of mother Earth's words from her roots to the tip of her spire.

Then from within the invisible axis running through the center of her trunk great grandmother tree formed her message for the last generation children of the Earth:

Last generation children of the Earth
I am your guardian
I stand tall as your model
if you wish to be like me
stand still and know
the ring of time

In the ring of time
my knowing is this
while standing still
still I spin
what I spin stays within
keeping still I grow tall
conserving energy knowing all
on my axis I turn time like Earth
each year one ring
each ring one birth

Child of the future child of time
can you live in your rings
can you stand tall
can you still climb
from your roots in Earthly sleep
to reach my branches
in the sky so far so deep
ask the tree who stands so tall
time is your mind and time is all
lift your branches to the sky
raise your dreams where they can fly

the biosphere holds a place for you
rooted like a tree in the Hunab Ku
