If you have walked in the heart of the Greenwood and have bathed in the light of its living force remember what you have felt; and whenever you pass a tree whether it stands alone in a wilderness of human making or in the depth of woodland, give a moment of your time to listen to its voice. For in many parts of the land the trees are dying only the hearts that know something of the true wisdom can save them. (Anon)
Time to welcome in the Summer, health and happiness.
Si usted ha paseado por el centro del bosque verde y se ha bañado en la luz de su fuerza viva recuerde lo que usted ha sentido; y siempre que usted pase al lado de un árbol si está parado solamente en un yermo de fabricación humana o en la profundidad del bosque, dé un momento de su tiempo para escuchar su voz. Porque en muchas partes de la tierra los árboles se están muriendo solamente los corazones que tengan algo de la sabiduría verdadera pueden salvarlos. (Anón)
Hello you guys, just passing through, hope all is well.
Just spent a week with the Iona Community in the Abbey on Iona. had a great time with about 50 fellow pilgrims in the Abbey and 50 in the McCloud Centre. We eat, work and worship together; oh and don't forget the prayer meetings (down the pub). A transforming experience i would like to repeat.
"A few places in the world are held to be holy, because of the love which consecrates them, and the faith which enshrines them. One such is Iona ...It is but a small isle, fashioned of a little sand, a few grasses salt with the spray of an ever-restless wave, a few rocks that wade in heather, and upon whose brows the sea-wind weaves the yellow lichens. But since the remotest days, sacrosanct men have bowed here in worship. In this little island a lamp was lit whose flame lighted pagan Europe. From age to age, lowly hearts have never ceased to bring their burthen here. And here Hope waits. To tell the story of Iona, is to go back to God, and to end in God." Fiona Macleod
The Iona Community, founded in 1938 by the Rev George MacLeod, is an ecumenical Christian community of men and women from different walks of life and different traditions in the Christian church that is committed to seeking new ways of living the gospel of Jesus Christ in today's world.

Down yonder little leafy lane Where distant sound's of past remain, I hear the sound of old time folk Who dwell within the memoried Oak.
A maiden's voice in song so sweet Percolates the forest deep, She pick's the fruit of the forest born Her dulcet tone of love, forlorn.
Deep within its heart doth flow A winding, babbling brook so slow, Meandering on it's way to sea, The fuel of life and destiny.
And low, in distant muffled sound The woodsman's axe on bark doth pound, And hails of "Timber" do resound As low, the beauteous tree doth ground.
Trail's where trails of Deer have trod Age old courses, barren of sod, Weave and mingle through the growth There two pronged prints like - Slivey Toves.
Perhaps here so have lovers walked In time and distant moment's talked, Of love, or life, or other things Like babes in arms, or wedding rings.
In silent secret rings of thought The tree's remember, do not distort The happening life of decades past, Of moments shared and born to last.
Hello you guys just taking a walk around the woodlands of the world.
If you have walked in the heart of the Green wood and have bathed in the light of its living force remember what you have felt; and whenever you pass a tree whether it stands alone in a wilderness of human making or in the depth of woodland, give a moment of your time to listen to its voice. For in many parts of the land the trees are dying only the hearts that no something of the true wisdom can save them. (Anon)
