Oh Christmas Tree

Hi Fans.I'm Hoboclown and I've been watching Flash this morning.Flash is a little upset after reading the first few pages of a new book on a universal topic.Here's what Flash said, " Contrary to public opinion,Hoboclowns do read from time to time.Hoboclown detectives also testify in court sometimes as Expert Witnesses because they have a little more knowledge than the average person about a limited field of endeavor.In court the Expert Witness has to be qualified.He or she states their credentials and experience and then rants on about the question at hand.There is nothing worse than reading the first page of a book and having the writer qualify his expertise by mentioning 15 famous people he met from one isolated culture or continent, who were alledgedly great thinkers or Experts in Universal Phenomena. As a Hoboclown detective, I am an Expert on Universal Phenomena because when I open my eyes-I see the Universe . When I close my eyes-I sense the Universe. I listen with my ears and hear with my heart. I think with my being . I listen to nature and the Universe because they have a lot to say.Sometime back,one Xmas season a Dad set off to dig up a small Xmas tree for his family.He encountered a nice little fir tree that he thought would be just right.He started to dig up the tiny tree and the tree cried," OUCH !". Unaccustomed to listening to trees, the Dad was startled by what he heard. The Dad asked ,"who is there?".The little tree answered, " I am here.I am a tree and you are hurting me". The Dad replied,"Don't be silly, trees don't talk". The little tree replied,"Oh, but we do and we have a lot to say.Afterall , what is more upstanding,sturdy and well-rooted than a tree? Year after year we stand tall and testify to all that has happened around us.We are part of Nature's Universal scheme and respect each other. We have no government,no politics and we've learned to transcend borders with the help of the wind, rivers and oceans to propagate forever. We also depend on the boulders to guard and protect us so no one runs over us.The boulders are as loyal and as sturdy as rocks.They never leave their posts. Nature does a lot of cooperating to promote Life. Some vines are also very loyal to us . They will cling to us for life,if we let them. And some weeds are the spunky role models of Life. They grow and thrive in the toughest neighborhoods. What is tougher than a weed growing within a crack in a rock ? When you dig up a tree you're upsetting the balance of a universal natural family." The Dad began to use his shovel to throw the dirt back onto the roots of the little tree to preserve its' Life. The little fir tree mused, " Now you're diggin' where I'm coming from ! Instead, of uprooting us-just visit us for the Holidays and wish us well ". ___________Well, fans where are you coming from this Christmas ? What is your Xmas gift to Life in this Universe?
