THE Tree Title ...Come See!
THE TREE SPEAKS TO ALL OF YOU!
THIS IS TO THANK YOU FOR NAMING THE TREE!
I have been Untitled for so long, the attention is like the breeze I used to feel when I had so many leaves to tell me ‘the wind is here’.
I am ancient and have been around for a very long time.
I have heard your eyes speak volumes to me over the years
And have felt the beating of your hearts desire.
And for all that I know
Joy is the rhythm that is within your heart.
I have heard many names today
You have looked at me and told me
Who I may be….
Now let me tell you a little secret
These names are YOU.
When you see me you see you.
How is one to know what is ‘Supreme’ unless one has not themselves
Felt
That moment when all limitations were abandoned
And one allowed the power of the ‘Supreme Now’
To shine through and guide their heart?
How can one know who the ‘Master’ may be without feeling the
Sense of one ‘solitary moment’ when they too mastered the Art of Love.
Where can one find that sense of ‘energy and upliftment’ unless that is
Something they desire to give of themselves as well.
Great conversations while sharing ones insights,
Can begin over something as simple as coffee and crumpets.
Then there are those who see the ‘Elder’ in me.. The ‘Great Spirit Within’
You see, they too are connecting~ right at that moment~ Within Themselves,
To who they really are…
They Are..
‘Ancient Ones’ who ‘See All and Knows All’.. who are ‘One with the Earth’…
And who are quite amazed with this time space reality.
There are those when they look at me, always see the great ‘Question’ within.
Meditation is their solace and connection to the power that is their
‘Great Big Heart.’
They are blessed with the understanding of whence they came…
And sometimes want to see in me the promise
That ‘I’ shall never be far from them
For ‘I am that I am”.
And for those who feel a bit stranded …look again. You see me I know. I see it always in your work. I see the love and compassion you have for each of your subjects you draw, paint, digitate or write about.
The little ones who seem in peril are not. For I am with them always even unto the end.
And you know if you allow the ‘Eternal Now’ to smile… The End is Just the Beginning.
And The one who said this…
this tree defined
silhouette refined
a summer breeze
blistering haze
seasonal phase
beyond this gaze
beyond this peak
this tree is free
this tree is me
Knows indeed We are One ‘this tree is me’
The Drama and the Stunning eyes you have to paint the pictures of this life with words or vision is your gift to the Universe,
You are Giving Life to all that we are becoming.
And that sweet one. With the red hair, sees the ‘Warrior’ she is. Defending she thinks.. but Allowing She is.
And No I was not always a tree.
My roots remain in your heart dear one.
And a lover of life sees me with her peaceful heart. her majestic stance is for the Life of All Things Great and Small.
She sees the Oneness that we all are …from the blade of grass to
The stars in the sky and all the little creatures in-between.
I am King of the Mountain and she is my Queen! Come dear and
Sit beside me!
And the one who is never short of seeing all around him in good favor explicit in his desire that we all just ………….ENJOY………..
Thank you.
To the woman who is always giving her eye to others with support of kind words and shares her vision of that which she sees…
In me is She
And when I am the ‘One And Only’ she knows that in life she has come to understand the magic of ‘Focused Intent’ and appreciates the roots of this mysterious ‘Creation’.
The questioning student of life is the next to see
Perhaps this is all not so ‘Real’
Is this Maya?
Is this a trick?
Of my eye or of the mechenisums of the world
So that when I look at a tree,
Is it not a tree?
And I do say… ‘tee hee’!
A wise man he.
And I shall end with the lovely one who is patient kind and Grand Dame indeed.
She is steady and sure-footed and expresses the joy in her heart by allowing life to Be.
When you named me,, you named YOU.
And for that I shall be called
I AM THEE… A Tree.

In ZEN Guitar – Philip Toshio Sudo talks about ‘True Self’ with extreme clarity as follows:
”.......You will not hesitate to answer when the philosopher asks, ” If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?”
“Yes,” you’ll say. It makes the sound of one hand clapping.”
Cause thats your true self Linaji and thats what you are all about….... thats what this energy and warmth is all about.
Why does Ladoo always have the same sweetness and flavour?
;-))
~Ari
linaji replied
Ladoo has the same sweetness and flavor because i have in my heart a great big space for it to reside..along with the fact that Lord Ganesh is like a brother to me and makes sure each piece I have is a good one.. He removes bad ladoo before I ever have a chance to try them..
Lucky me.. and he sends beautiful friends my way with vibrations from the Gods… xox some are called..ARIS.

I think the nicest part of your magnificent letter/poem is the sense I get of being loved. There is no price that can be put on this…nor limit of time. Yes, what we see in the outside world are reflections of what is inside of us. Truth-be-told, the entire world—our physical form, what we walk on and what we breathe—are the products of our combined consciousness. Free Will really means this—there is nothing we have not created for our selves.
linaji replied
Dear Joe..
I revised it now.. better flow.. but I had to post.. I wanted to share this with you today.. and for this I am so blessed.. i feel the vibrations of the ‘tree’...yes it is a glorious moment to understand that we have within us the access to All that Is..for are we not that? xox
RMonroe
Oh Lina, you are one hell of an amazing woman…This is brilliant…reading this just takes my breath away….Thank you…..(Hugs)....

An honour on this tree, and all nature from which we survive and share this world with… something that will stand when we are gone, and sees all our triumphs and failings.
Wonderful writing Lina :))
linaji replied
Yes Caroline.. what a wonder every piece of this natural life gives and gives and gives an infinitum…. how lucky we are to be part of the circle.. appreciate your view.. and your work.. I too need to know more about photography! I just bought a book on lighting.. so little knowledge on this subject!! Cheers.:=}

So beautiful dear Lina. Such magic from the trees, they protect us, they love us, they are us & we are them
linaji replied
you are here…. I got this part from you .. when in the other picture you named the tree.. this is inspired from all of you.. this is the part you inspired:
And a lover of life sees me with her peaceful heart. her majestic stance is for the Life of All Things Great and Small.
She sees the Oneness that we all are …from the blade of grass to
The stars in the sky and all the little creatures in-between.
