Trees in gardens are like hidden traumas
and the longer we remain blind to their increasingly harmful impacts on our relationships, including with ourselves, the more difficult they become to understand and bring under our control
I speak and write about this with over 60 years deep lived experience of traumatic growth, via several disintegrations and rebirths, and a lot of similar experiences with relationships and trees, gardens, forests, nature and cosmos.
Everything is connected. We do not exist in time and space in ways that we are taught and conditioned.
Each of us experiences and carries traumas, which tend to cause addictions and challenges of grief and letting go of attachments and false beliefs, especially about who we are, and who and what we believed we wanted to become.
In my experiences and studies of human disintegrations and rebirthing, I believe that we tend to avoid what we fear. We tend to deny that life is richer and more abundant by letting go, rather than by clinging on, or by remaining rooted, like a tree grown far too big, which then ultimately becomes impossible to remove from our life, doing catastrophic damage to our own health and our relationships with our closest neighbours and loved ones.
