It’s a very bittersweet day.
When i was visiting the forest a couple of weeks ago, as i was talking to The Green Man, he casually mentioned that our time together was limited. He continued to mention it over the coming weeks, and, well today was the last day that i spent working with the forest.
Over some forest water, we talked about a lot of things. He said that i’ve outgrown him, more in a literal sense; that there isn’t really anything else that he can offer me that would help me grow. He showed me my tree form, towering high above the forest, commenting on how much i’ve grown since i first started working with him at the beginning of this year.
We talked about what this means. I don’t need to visit the forest anymore, although he encourages that i visit every once in a while so that we can sit and share some forest water. I also asked this question:
“Will i still have the mark of the forest?”
“Yes, but you won’t need it.”
“What do you mean?”
“You won’t bear the mark of this forest, but of all forests. Everyone you come across will know that you are a friend to the forest, because you are the forest.”
Then, as we were finishing, he mentioned that he had something for me; a gift. He told me that he would like to give me another attunement, or like a permanent energy boost, so that i will always have forest energy with me.
I sat down. He put his hands over me, glowing green with energy. We went up to our energetic forms. A green sphere appeared in his hands, which descended down into my head, and i felt my third eye burn. Green energy encircled me, and i floated up, and i felt the presence of all of the trees of the forest, channeling energy as i began to glow a brighter, deeper green. A green beam shot down from the sky, into my head and all the way through me, and i pulled with green energy, before the beam faded and i floated back down.
That was a couple of hours ago, and even now my head feels super heavy and my energy feels almost overloaded. I’m not sure what exactly this gift means, but it’s certainly working.
As he was walking me out and we exchanged our goodbyes, he told me this:
“Remember. I am the forest, you are the forest, i am me, i am you, you are me, you are you. Let this moment and gift carry you forward and bless you as you continue down your path.”
I waved goodbye came down from the astral, standing up and wrapping my arms around the tree that The Green Man inhabits in a big hug. As i walked out, with the cool morning air and slow rain coming down, the forest looked greener than i’ve ever seen it, and i felt almost a warm embrace as i looked down the forest trail one last time before turning and heading towards my car.
I’ve learned so much from the forest. I can absolutely say that without The Green Man’s mentorship i wouldn’t be as far along the path as i am now. I’m grateful for all of the time that we were able to spend together, and i will always look on these memories fondly.
Ya know, it’s funny. As i was driving to the forest this morning, i just had this... feeling. I had glimpses of the future, intuitive pushes, a feeling that this chapter is closing. This chapter of healing and solitude is closing, ushering in a new chapter of my life. I’m not entirely sure what to expect from it, but whatever it is, I’ll be ready.
That’s it for now.
Blessings!
