You don’t know what you don’t know, yanno? So what you do know is enough to do what you need to do, cuz if you needed more you’d have it. A man approached a tree once and asked the tree if it knew God. The tree without hesitation said “Yes, I know God. Don’t you?” The man, puzzled for a moment, thought over all of the experiences in his life. He thought over all of the the days and nights that have passed him by, all of the tears and smiles he had witnessed and felt, many times often wondering if God cared at all. . He looked at the tree and said “Sometimes I really feel like God is missing in certain places in the world, look at all the struggle and pain everywhere, in mostly everyone?” The man started going off, naming terrible things going on all over the world. Murders and rapes genocides and torture and break ups and disease and poverty and war and other monstrosities.” The tree listened attentively, waiting for the man to finish. . Finally, the man almost out of breath, realized that he was able to quite generously describe all of his miseries and ailments and weaknesses. However the amount of times he said thank you to a God or anyone for that matter had been few and far between. He looked around, the Forest he was standing in was unlike the world he just described. It was still, fresh, and alive. . The tree, having been through many winter storms as well as sweltering summer heats, knew quite well the cycles of life. The timing of nature, and that humans are the only creatures that manipulate the concept of timing. Having observed many people, his DNA holding memories of observations of many billions of people before him, the tree spoke: “Everywhere you people go you focus on what is not. You focus on the reality, what is being shown to you. And because you wait to form an opinion after you see what happens, because your mind operates in cause and effect, you will always be lost. Not in logic, but in spirit, in connection with one. You people go around with the attitude of ‘Ill give you who I am once you show me that God is here.’” The tree paused, before softly saying, “I will give you the Earth if you show me one place that God is not.” #love (at Watseka, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6r3TnwFp1G/?igshid=1e3rzr5wundlv
