"Show me one church, temple, or mosque on the entire mudball that is closer to the Great Spirit than a redwood grove" :-) (Wharf Rat)

Well said, and certainly true of 99.25% (approx) of the world's temples and churches.

When my Teacher (Adi Da) visits the area in which I live, he spends many hours, often daily, sitting silently and motionless in Redwood Groves, meditating the trees and with the trees.

He considers old-growth Redwoods to be the most Spiritually advanced of ALL non-human beings. When you study Redwoods you realize that a Redwood forest is a COMMUNITY, with interlocking root structures, smaller trees acting as windbreaks for larger ones, etc.

How many generations is it going to take for humans to realize they are ONE community?

Namaste!

Jim
