Tree 1 - O No! Never Cut A Tree!

O No! Never cut a tree! Trees are God's finest creations. A tree enjoys a long life, Adjusting to the wild, windy weather, Accommodating with the moods of nature! A man may live to be hundred, but, A tree lives three times over, Living to see generation after generation! O No! Never cut a tree! For a tree is alive! Full of awareness! Seeing through the inner eye, Smelling through its thick bark, Sensitive to the touch of its admirers, Inhaling the fragrance of the flowers Exhaling the healing vital air, Breathing in rhythm to the dance of nature! O No! Never cut a tree! A tree can spread its fragrance Through the high mountains, Through the deep valleys, like The ‘kadamba' with its satin yellow petals The eucalyptus with its long scented leaves The juicy mango with its delicious aroma The jackfruit with its rich, sweet flavour! O No! Never cut a tree! Blessed are the trees, Brave and trustworthy, Benign and faithful, Never telling a lie, Never hiding a fact, Ever ready to listen without a groan, Ever ready to tolerate without a grumble!
