Compassion from trees

Mental health gaff organised by CAISO.  The facilitator is talking about compassion , and doing some visualisation work. 

Evening at the end of a strange Guyana day which started with Baba Prezzy trying to show he is a big man and hauling people at dawn to cuss up about contract delays and so on.

Other people use dawn to pray, meditate and to get ready for the day ahead. World though has all kind of different people and gathering.

Activity is to imagine a being which would give you compassion.

And I thought about trees. 

In another connecting discussion on another evening, the facilitator reminds everyone about the connection with every thing in the Universe (including the people who struggling to show power and who taking money to do work that they cannot do and so on, and the plants and animals and so)

There was no discussion about what kind of beings to connect with . I could have created some magical thing but then magic is already around us in many ways.

So the trees, still and silent when place hot bad and no breeze blowing, then the psithurism when there is a little breeze , calming sounds. 

And some trees stay silent no matter how much breeze blows through them,  while others like bamboo generate vibrations from the slightest shift in the air.

And there is the shade, in the heat. Shade which gives a break from heat, while also not enclosing or putting up walls to other things in the Universe.

And Trees do this caring of us in many places without asking us for anything.
