A Tree Of Life

[Timothy Gega]

A

Tree

Of Life.

All we need is

The Air that we breathe

And to love our Sacred Ancient Trees.

Everything that we exhale, the Trees inhale.

And, everything that our Trees exhale, we inhale.

Without our forest of Trees, we could not breathe.

They say that our ancestors lived up in the trees

once upon a time and it was where we’d play

swinging happily along from vine to vine.

Food

Fuel

Fire

Paper

Homes

and Chairs

Without our Trees

Oxygen wouldn’t be there.

They are the cool shade when

the sun becomes too hot to bare.

Trees are the lungs for our Waters.

The trees are the fabric of our earth’s crust.

Be good to our trees and show them your care.

Trees are planted as Living Memorials for births or deaths.

They represented the fourfold nature of a symbolic axis connecting

the planes of the Underworld and the sky with that of the terrestrial world.
