Walking wild

 




At the school where I work there is a giant old Beech tree.

It stands in the toddlers playground and they are as much surrounded by it’s joy as it as by their’s.

They use the seeds and spiny burs in the mud kitchen, they climb up into the large space between the 5 major trunks, they search for bugs and other curious things in it’s moss covered roots.

They love to run around it in a wide circle...it’s so large that if you are standing on one side you cannot see who might be standing on the other side!

When they are all going around the tree and filled with laughter I sometimes think of that old Donovan song, 

Happiness Runs in a Circular Motion

Thought is like little boat upon the sea

Everybody is a part of everything anyway

You can have everything if you let yourself be

Why? Because...

Happiness runs, happiness runs,

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs....

  2. Love upward shots like that. Sounds so fun to see the children all happy playing with the tree. Does probably make the tree happy if it's like plants that they say are breath helps. Have a happy week.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
