Hi. I love nature. My tree hugging days go way back. Because of this, I hold sacred the woods that make our fine instruments. If you've ever picked up and played 2 different guitars of the same model and maker, I think that you'll agree there's something different about each one: the tone, the texture, the feel, the vibration against your chest, the grain and sustain of the wood. It's inspired...and so, once upon a time, I wrote this tribute. I hope that you enjoy it.

Treeatum

I am a tree, standing tall,
with my feet firmly planted.
I reach out into nature
to feel the universe

touching every part of my being.
I reach for the sky...the heavens...
as my branches whether all,
electric life charges me.

I am bound.
I can bend.
I am free.
I have strength.

I seek life's nutrients from Mother Earth,
and she pours her life into me.
I grow, learn and return her
gifts in the same surge.

I am all;
all is me.
I am perfection.
I am a Tree.

I definitely here a song in this Alexa... I'm a nature lover myself... I was just reading an article yesterday about the ancient Kauri trees in New Zealand being struck by a fungi... I sure hope they find away to prevent the loss of more trees... they truly are majestic. Excellent writing!

BEAUTIFUL, had me feeling all "treeish" myself. So, you're half way to a song...... just play along and sing it. "I am bound, I can bend, I am free, I have strength." "I am all. all is me. I am perfection..... I am TREE" Great stuff Alexa. Im looking forward to hearing it. Steve
