She is beautiful... !!!

Posted on Sep 14th, 2008 by crudebliss : Let Lord Swaminarayan Triumph crudebliss
OK to my regular readers... the heading was actually to get you excited to click on my blog... but i'm afraid i will tell you of my love when she feels ready... :-)

Approx. 3 weeks ago… there was alittle more rain then usual… followed by alittle more wind then usual…

A papaya tree… with more than 10 papayas fell down…. the reason was that the center of gravity; of the tree was too high (many papayas) and the ground was soft (rain)The tree was actually worth seeing… when It fell down…. More then half of it’s roots were torn and uprooted… yet it had the most biggest papaya's on it... and it was fighting to feed its fruits.... I felt so sad….

And then I decided… to let her live… instead of uprooting her completely... I call her ‘her’ because she reminds me of Earth, what a true mother can do… I gathered some ash -
ash is supposedly the best insecticide ever…. any insects; if interviewed, would say 'they hate fire…' and the proof of fire is ash…- so I gathered some ash and sprinkled under the roots of the tree… and started to build a lifting mechanism… the photos you see below are of the tree being lifted…

Every 3-5 days.. I lift the tree up by 6 inches…. And place a firm foundation under it and cushion the trunk with dead leaves….

It's silly i know... but i heard once; that if you plant a tree; then even if a railway was to be built through it, then divert the damn railway tracks... but never uproot a tree... and this tree was in my farm... the least i can do is to help her up again... !!! right >?

The tree still is being raised higher and higher... ...

I think she will survive… I get tears in my eyes every-time I lift her… coz I can feel her telling me 'thankyou' in a cosmic – vibrational kinda way…

Oh my God!    You're really a very sweet soul, J.   Awe…it brings tears to my eyes…..because I am really seeing a fallen mother……..and the most compassionate of Earth's son stopping to help her up……..this is the ultimate of compassion……….to see you helping her up gradually with the brick props…………..nope….I don't think it's silly at all for you to help the tree………… You say….”She is beautiful”  but I am seeing….”He is beautiful”

And lol, you have me laughing through my tears with this….”any insects; if interviewed, would say 'they hate fire…”   Lol…  cute…..

Love you, J.

I agree with our friend, goddess2day… “she is beautiful” is really also saying “he is beautiful” and I see the compassionate son at work.

Truly beautiful!

Bless you dear one…

you are such a beautiful soul, this fills my heart with such joy and hope, the love and compassion you have shared cannot be measured with words alone..

 Only this morning I discovered a tree which was down due to heavy winds, rain and perhaps a shift , slow slide in the surrounding soil…
The tree is a magnificent beauty, so big, I felt sad and stood a while with her, parts of the roots still well established..
I had wished I could help, it was seeing her great branches and the evident buds fallen, one large branch had been ripped away..

She was still in her greatness and splendor part of the great circle, I touched her and said a silent prayer and blessing for all she is..
I know that the local authorities who tend the trees will attend soon, I am confident they will be able perhaps to help and preserve..

Your post has come with perfection and it gifts me with knowing of the power of universal love and compassion that is you..
Thank you, thank you…

Sending you and this beautiful tree
Love, Blessings and hugs…

Ange
