Trees
My friend and I were talking and I don’t know why, but the conversation headed to the subject of trees. Maybe because I sang my song “Life Is Good” at CAP. One of the verses is about trees so trees are fresh in my mind. If you want to hear the song, go to my EPK at www.sonicbids.com/lauracohn. It’s in the media section.
The lyric in the verse is…”Trees are standing like great towers through the nights and every storm. They hold life with so much power. They can see how time is born.” That was inspired by a singer I knew named Margo Reed. Her sister, Francine, sang back ups with Lyle Lovett. The whole family was musically gifted.
She told me that she learns a lot looking at nature and talked about how trees stand where they are no matter what shows up around them, unless of course some lumberjack comes around and cuts them down. But what came up in my conversation today was noting how much strength there is in simplicity and how nice life is when I keep things simple.
A tree spends its entire life in one place. It stays where it is and whatever shows up where it is, is what the tree deals with. Maybe it’s the illusion of me moving around in this body that gives me the feeling that I go different places in my day. I’m on the same planet in the same atmosphere. My body doesn’t give my soul a way out while it breathes.
Somehow I think we’re all Divinely guided and I show up where I’m supposed to. Not that it seems that way all the time. But I love the idea of life being so simple that I just have to be where I am and life will come to me. That may sound silly, but I’ve been known to come up with stuff that makes people shake their heads in bewilderment.
The opening lyric in the song “Life Is Good” makes me smile every time I sing it. I wrote the song when I lived in Telluride, CO where I watched A LOT of snow fall every winter. The song describes looking at the snow falling outside and how I wished that life “could be so easy like the flakes just falling down.”
“We could all be out together; have a party with the ground.” I love the idea of having a party with the ground. Trees have a party with the ground every day. They’re completely connected without even trying. It’s just how they are. Trees are very cool. They really come to life when someone notices them. Have you ever noticed that?
Blessings!
