Moved by the story of the crab-apple. Some plants seem to be more attune to thought-energy than others. I have a guava tree I have cultivated from a sapling, once the thinnest, frailest thing imaginable, having lost all its foliage and suffering terrible root damage. Now it bursts forth with leaves, and bears the sweetest fruit of prodigious size. One year, I would ask for its attention to the fruit and one it ended up producing so much that its still thin limbs sagged and drained all its energy away from the foliage. I was surprised by this, so the next season as I tended to it I would praise the tree and remind it to produce only enough that it could support and it has had a very bountiful harvest ever since. Those who enjoy guavas know this fruit is nothing like that available in stores, how sweet and juicy, and people are surprised at the size from such a small tree, but I know it is because I meditate with this tree and coexist with it benevolently, each providing for the other. It is truly a lovely entity with shining bark and emerald leaves, and a blessing to the garden.
Kinship through trees…cool! 🙂
