Trees can be amazing. I had a moment of pure universal connection with an ancient tree in Corsica. I was high up in the mountains, where the air is clear and pure, and came across this tree. I went up to it and put my forehead against it, my arms around it, feeling its rough bark next to my skin, and imagined its flow of water coming up from the earth, and felt its incredible age. All around were younger trees, and it's pine cones littered the ground and I realised all these trees were it's offspring. I was so incredibly moved by the experience, that a feeling of oneness with the earth welled up inside. As I continued down the path tears of emotion spilled over, I knew I had just experienced something that would last throughout my lifetime, and it changed me forever. I wonder now if I connected with the spirit of the tree.
There are some pictures of the tree on my website http://northernfells.co.uk/corscia2004/corsica_frameset.htm - in the link Lacu Melo Walk
