Dr. E, I have felt just the same about trees since I was four years old. You are speaking my language! Thank you for The Dangerous Old Woman. I feel electrified to be listening to you. It feels like the possibilities for the future are opening wide and golden. I’m looking forward to many sessions of this recording.

C.P.E. reminds us that we can go to a forest of mature trees to receive peace and inspiration. Perhaps we will learn that we were meant to be a late bloomer and that now is our time to create and to pour forth beauty upon the World. This may be easier done with the blessings of one who can see our beauty. C.P.E. seems to be such a person. This talk was a blessing from her. Thank you.
