The trees told me they work together as a large transformer. They stand on a hill above a reservoir, and they act as a conducive source of information from the cosmos.

The nature reserve is full of walking tracks and picnic tables. This grove of trees is on the same land, but it’s different. It rarely sees people. The canopy is thick, the branches inside are bare, and the soil is cold. This grove pulses with still, focused energy.

Light finds its way through the branches. Light is conductive, too, light transforms. Light is full of information and sunlight powers the grove transformer.

Conifer varieties outside protect the grove. They drink in the light and reach for the rain.
