the tree is a living entity, one must always respect and ask for permission to trim them up - trust this, the rewards will be VERY obvious! all my trees have names, I greet them but most of all I respect them - cedars as well as oaks are very special, spiritually

I don’t disagree, though there are practical matters that must also be considered.

It would be disingenuous, to ask for permission when knowing full well certain actions must be taken regardless of what the answer may be. Instead, I state my intentions and ask for understanding.

As steward of my land, I strive to make the most beneficial decisions and to not act in a destructive manner.

We live in a symbiotic relationship with nature. There is an interdependence and balance to maintain with all life. Keeping with true egalitarian values,

I am not separate from nature, I am a part of it.

explanations go a long way when dealing with an entity you've an established relationship with - it is important to 'think' the words when spoken as both frequencies are received - think of trimming your fingernails?

I have a magnificent California Oak in my front yard. I love it, and it Loves Me. The circumference is approx. 11 feet; the height... 51 ft ?? Based on other trees I've met, mine has gotta be at least 340 years old. I pat it and talk to it. There's a neighbor who hates it, and transfers her vehemence regarding it upon 'my person.' I reassure my Giant Oak Sentinel Power Pole of ITS Beauty, Grandeur, and Order -ed STRUCTURE OF MAGNIFICENCE.
