fructe_pe_stradaImagine that you had live in a city or community – where all the streets would be planted with fruit trees – and on the way to work or the park, you would stop to pick an apple, plum or cherry.

I had the privilege of being in a town in Northern Germany for a few weeks, and I walked through a public park where all the avenues were lined with apple trees laden with fruit. Because it was the middle of September, the apples were almost ripe and weighed down the branches, which hung heavy.

But frequent passers-by were careful to pick the fruits of the trees – and each passer-by was blessed with the flavors of the fruits.

I thought it was a brilliant idea – to give people free and healthy “natural snacks“.

The more so as the park was near a hill forest, which was full of blackberry bushes, wild dogwoods, dovebarim hawthorns and other fruiting plants.

It was enough to take an hour’s walk in nature – that you could calmly have the healthiest meal possible – fresh fruit, picked and eaten on the spot – with all the enzymes and all the energy and information of the Earth contained in them. It was no wonder that no one needed too much – 1-2 apples were enough, as were a handful of blackberries or a few corms or pigeons.

You didn’t need much of this energizing (and energizing) fruit.

And above all, you didn’t need much food, because the oxygen in the air – and the beauty of the places – filled your body’s batteries and the rest of the “nutrients” it needed.

Food, oxygen and physical movement – are the BASIC NEEDS of humans.

And when a place fulfills them all – then the food becomes ONLY PART of the equation – NOT the whole equation (as it is in the big cities of the world).

Little by little – you no longer need food – not “food” as we have been told it is defined (“cooked food“) – because FOOD REAL that our living and dynamic body needs – is represented by the LIFE of the fruit (the enzymes, minerals, vitamins and the few nutrients from GOOD, fresh, ripe and organic fruit).

There are many trends in the world to bring real food back into people’s cities.

mereI found this article on Internet (in English) discussing entire communities in Canada or Australia where fruit trees are planted in parks and public spaces.

Similar projects exist in many communities around the world, in Europe, America or Asia (here I saw the abundance at her home – fruit trees being available to everyone, all the time – coconut trees, banana trees, papayas, mangoes, avocados or pineapples – growing wild and free everywhere).

And in Romania there is a development in this direction.

I saw it in many cities in Transylvania.

I was really impressed, in a sunny autumn, when I went to a course in Cluj and lived on one of the hills of the city, in a more peripheral and quiet area. To get from the hotel where we were staying to the room where the course was held, we took a 10-minute walk every morning along a sunny street, which was lined with fruit trees: plums, apples, pears, walnuts and blackberry bushes or pigeons (of course, we used to take the same walk back home, in the evening, after class!).

So that, by the time we got to class, we were serving breakfast – every day with different fruits – each one tastier, more interesting in terms of flavor and aroma.

And we had our evening meal – filling and nutritious. So, the lunch served at the course seemed useless (and above all, non-nutritious and tasteless, with all the thermal “preparations” thrown on the plate).

I really liked the idea of fruit trees being “free” available to people. Because everyone will take exactly what they need. You can’t take too much – for two reasons: because you get full quickly, and you don’t actually need a lot of fruit, and two, because if you take too much fruit, it spoils quickly, the second or third day it’s already gone degraded. All grown fruit in their natural state, un-pestified and sprayed and above all, ripe, they are rapidly degradable once they have been harvested. In a few hours the natural process of oxidation and destruction begins – and in 1-2 days they are inedible.

We experienced this phenomenon and quickly “cured” our socially cultivated greed and “hoarding” tendency.

We have learned to rely on what Nature gives us, every day – and to trust that we will find EXACTLY WHAT OUR BODY NEEDS at that moment.

So – when you are dealing with “clean” trees, not treated with chemicals and not inhibited in their natural way of expression / manifestation – you are dealing with the TRUE variants – of nutrition for the human being.

The REAL fruits are these “wild” or “wild” fruits – smaller, less showy than store bought fruits, often “split ” a fruit with worms, birds or insects, (if they like it too….of course it is good!) – but full of nutrients that living bodies need.

A single bite of such a fruit – brings as many nutrients as a plate of “tortured” food served at home or in a restaurant.

And their regular consumption teaches you SIMPLICITY, satiety with little and immense RESPECT for Nature and its balancing mechanisms.

I have discussed in other material the idea that fruits are the gifts of trees to humans – in exchange for planting seeds and their multiplication and spread.

The inner seeds of trees are meant to be planted – to help sustain life on Earth.

Of the life of the trees – but also of the life of people.

Plant fruit tree seeds – plant apple, pear, apricot and peach seeds, plant walnuts and hazelnuts – wherever you can. On vacant lots, in public places – in all areas where man has not extended his domineering rule (there are still such places, few, but they are).

If you have your own garden, around the house – plant as many fruit trees as possible.

Give yourself the wealth of Nature and enjoy good quality food close to home

Select those hardy trees that don’t need much watering, pruning or grooming. Let the trees grow naturally, look for “vigorous” individuals and resistant to the soil and environmental conditions in which you live.

Do not try to keep alive trees that are suffering and that need too much care.plantati_pomi

Don’t waste energy supporting trees – let them take care of their own needs.

Learn the wisdom of Nature – using the handiest tool you have – planting trees.

AND use the fruit trees as a symbol of the Heaven you can re-build on Earth.

Even if our Planet does not currently resemble anything from the magical images we associate the notion of Heaven – it does not mean that we cannot DREAM A NEW DREAM FOR OUR PLANET.

Let each of us begin, as little as we can, to build THE HEAVEN OF FRUIT TREES on Earth,

Plant fruit trees everyone.

Where you can, as much as you can

Let’s try to get rid of the “dominance” of cereals and vegetables – which turned us into “vegetables” and literally, not just figuratively.

Let’s let go of the fixities and rigidities in our bodies and minds – collaborating together with the TREES – our partners in existence on Earth.

We wish you all a wonderful autumn!
