Oak Wisdom – How to Dream Big
“What can you tell me about thinking and dreaming big?” I asked the pre-Civil War oak (The Old Woman of the Woods”) as I paid her a visit.
Her reply? “Take it one day at a time and trust your divine DNA. You were born for greatness. It’s inevitable as long as you trust the Creator. Focus on being who you were created to be. Let Him do the rest.”
“Thanks! Anything I can do for you?” I asked.
“You could pull some invasive privet beneath me,” she suggested.
I pulled about a dozen small privet by the roots and asked if she had any more wisdom to share.
“Yes, collaborate with your fellow-beings.”
Spirit Tree Farms Philosophy
Dave and I have a big vision for our property. We also feel we have a message that is beyond just what we do on our property (although what we do here is an attempt to model our message). Our message is that our Creator is transmitting peace, joy, connection and inspiration throughout Nature. There is a Divine Light in all things and through all things and people. Everything is comprised of this Sacredness.
I’ll admit, when we think we have to deliver this message by ourselves, it can feel daunting and overwhelming. That’s why we try to remind ourselves to listen to our property and what God is telling us through it. We are not alone in caring for our property or in delivering the message God has entrusted to us. God and Nature are both on board with the vision, the message, and the healing that is happening here. Our Creator and Nature know what our property needs to heal.
The inspiration we receive for our property could be different than what you receive for yours. That’s why it’s so important that we each seek Divine inspiration for our own lives, circumstances, and our individual Earth stewardship.
As we collaborate and partner with God, Nature, and our property, synergy produces results beyond anything we could do on our own. We create a place of peace, healing, safety and refuge – a sacred space. As we heal, the Earth heals. As the Earth heals, we heal. There’s no need to approach our partnership with the Earth with anger, shame, blame, or fear. We believe as we come from a place of love, love heals everyone and everything!
Here’s a short video Dave made the other morning that explains our philosophy:
In the future, we’ll be discussing ways to collaborate on this message with other like-minded people. If you’re interested in collaborating with us in love-based Earth partnership, please drop me a note at marnie@marniekuhns.com. I’d love to hear from you!
You can learn more about collaborating with Nature and seeing the sacred everywhere – and in yourself – so you can enjoy more peace, happiness and purpose in your daily life. Pick up a copy of “Finding Peace in a Turbulent World: Living in Sacred Nature” in print, paperback, or Audible versions.
