Diamantel's Touch

Random photo from the Sacred Forrest ~ anonymous

Another visit to the Sacred Forrest to wall the circuits that are energetically programmed for different healings.

This area had been strip mined and left in very poor condition. The Damanhurians have been not only protecting, but also restoring this Forrest. Their dream is to build a new temple here to be the Temple to the Parliament of all Peoples. 

Diamantel is a beautiful tree that the Damanhurians protect. She is the matriarch of the Forrest. There is a spiral circuit around her which I walked. It leads all the way up to her and then I reversed direction to double back the way I entered. 

There is a sign posted asking that Diamantel not be touched. She is special and Sacred to the Forrest and there is concern about detrimental human contact. 

Each one was careful not to touch her even as she drew us to herself at the center of the spiral. What we noticed is that Diamantel had not read or had chosen not to heed the warning sign. She seemed to long for human contact as her branches bowed low to brush our heads, faces and cheeks as we walked the spiral circuit. She tenderly reached out to us in the silence of this walking meditation. We smiled. 

On our way out of the spiral, we had to pass each other on the narrow path. There were moments when we had to embrace one another in order to stay on the path as we passed each other. I felt like we were dancing around the spiral as we negotiated our way out from the center through embraces and spins.
