TRANSCENDENCE THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS
“ Two spirits ,” she said firmly . “ They watch over you both . They will protect you . They love you and your garden loves you too . There are very good feelings here . Bring presents to them from when you are away to show that you remember .”
Presents ? I thought of the lovely ritual offerings we saw repeated everywhere throughout Bali . A small flat basket or leaf with flowers and a bit of artfully arranged food is gently placed here or there with a silent prayer and graceful wave of a hand to send the prayer aloft , repeated and renewed daily with the same languid reverence . So the love we have been lavishing on our garden is reciprocated by our own nature spirits .
She then read our auras and energy patterns and prescribed exercises for some minor incipient health problems ; then just before we clasped hands to say goodbye , Rai asked , “ Questions now ?” I asked about the existence of tree spirits , but , perhaps because I was not specific enough , she didn ’ t want to teach me the complicated realm of the unseen . It was late . I would learn of this in the days and months to come . Besides , we have our own .

A feng shui ( fung shway ) expert who had visited us a couple of years before also pointed out this very oak tree as special even with its lost branches and the unsightly gash in its side . Now , there are plenty of other trees on our land ; so it seems significant that both sensitives singled out this particular tree . Even this expert had said , “ Decorate it .” Since then I have offered it the occasional apple or flower , and recently got the notion to arrange small rocks at its base and into the gash , where they remind me to remember .
Interestingly enough , this is the same tree that Alan , the avowed rationalist , has never allowed Randy our arborist , to cut down , regardless of his perfectly good reasons . We have always treated that old oak as a pet . We now call it “ the Spirit Tree .”
