timelessness of the timefullness

Here is the story about my magical climb. Grab a cup of tea and imagine me reading it to you. My heart is in these words.

The tree connection-
This is a tree that has been speaking to me for over a year. It waved at me one day while walking through this ancient and mystical forest. There are no paths to this elder, there are no signs to where he is. The only way to find him is to let your heart guide you there. This is the way that he came into my life.
Several times I have been to the base of him and have read a book, taken a nap in his shade or just gazed in wonder up into his canopy, letting my freedom fly around his branches. Every time i go to this sacred place, I leave with a clearer spirit and a fulfilled heart.
This tree is very dear to me. He is one of my teachers, one of my elders and one of my churches. He is part of God.
Since we met, I have been hearing his calls inviting me to ascend into his lofty branches and connect with him in
his timeless world.

On June 20th my passion manifested itself into reality. The day was cool and cloudy. I arrived at the foundation of where he has sprouted from our mother earth around 11am. He was as welcoming as always. I walked around his massive, ancient trunk. Looking high and low for all of his signs. Wanting to capture all of his essence and permission before I attempted to place a rope into his might arms. I felt his peace and his acceptance.
I walked further back from him, looking into the canopy for that open window of where I could release an arrow into, to set my rope.
This tree is very old and much respect must be had to enter into his world. I asked permission and told the tree that this climb is not for me, but for him. His wisdom will live within me, his wisdom will teach others when I speak, his wisdom is the foundation of my vision. This climb is for his people and our mother earth. He accepted my prayers and allowed the arrow to be placed on top of one of his mighty arms.
I pulled up my rope, the umbilical cord connecting my life to his life. When i tied myself onto this rope I became one of his children, i became a part of him, we were one. I surrendered my life to him and his teachings. The ego of Tim was now lost in this epic adventure, there was nothing to do but just BE.

As I ascended up alongside his body, i could feel his aura and my aura merging into one. Total acceptance. Oneness. I eventually entered into the realm of earth above the earth. His arms supported so much life, plants that grow on the ground were growing high up above the ground on his mighty arms. I saw his brothers and sisters growing next to him, they to had an abundance of life high up in their branches. I stopped along my journey many times to enjoy his smell, his sounds, the view of his home. I saw where birds have made their nest many years ago. I saw his age in his bark. I felt his wisdom in the space between his branches, his leaves and his trunk. I forgot about Tim, I became the experience.
As I continued up this Tree Of Life, I felt more and more connected to my own life, to my own beliefs, to my own power, and to my own vision of touching one more
person - as this tree has touched me. (Is that possible- YES!)
Once I arrived at his top, his crown, I was welcomed with a mighty surprise. His top was flat and he allowed a vista of grandeur. I wept as I peeked my head
above his upper top branches. God was looking down on me and he was giving me a kiss of bliss. I saw this ancient forest from the eyes of a mighty
elder, I saw this forest from where no human has ever been. I absorbed his silent, sacred wisdom. As I sat, I meditated about the survival of these trees
and the earth that supports all life. My heart was soaring with the eagles that where flying above us.

when i was leaving the forest i was blessed with the song of a varied thrush (it is a bird that lives only in old healthy forest) a very rare song to hear.
