Aki wa ochite iru


That's right, it's very fall-like. The leaves are turning the most beautiful colors now, as I lie in the cold green grass, the breeze gently brushing my face, only to think to myself that nature is calling to me. It whispers the softest whisper, careful not to cause my eardrum to stir, "Come Aya, come play with us here in the forest." I call out to them, "I'll be there in a minute, I'd like to watch the sky turn light blue." I get no answer.
Some people might come
up and say, "Aya, no matter how long you wait, you won't get any reply." But I say, "If you've never heard trees call to you, maybe perhaps you aren't listening hard enough. I'd be happy to give you a few pointers some time if you are ever interested." Then, they will look at me as though I was a mystery. I've practiced, the voice inside my head saying, "Aya, don't pay them any mind. Your intentions are much more useful to yourself than any of their silly ideas."
Pretty soon, I find myself lying in my favorite tree, which I think now has the prettiest leaves of all this fall, but I will make sure not to tell any of the others. I rub my hand against it's willow and whisper to it quietly, "Do you believe that pets go to heaven? I do, and I think you should to if you don't already think so."
This tree answers to your heart, not to your voice. So you have to listen real hard, it doesn't come in words, through your heart, and up through your mind, and its your job to turn it into words. The answer was like this if it was in words:
Beevile os I

Which I think means, I believe so. I've talked to this tree so many times, I am an expert. Some days it will take a few minutes for it to respond, other times it takes more than a day. I better go now, the more time i spend on here, the less I know what beauty is. (nature)
