Young Life Beesting and the Second Tree Talk Lesson: Listening with a Lenni Ear
Monumental Music School
Guitar and Piano Lessons
Beesting and the children had a lot to think about. They never knew that a forest had so many lessons to teach. “Children and Beesting,” the tree said in a gentle voice, “come closer and wrap your arms around my trunk.” Beesting and the children moved closer. “Good,” the tree continued, “now turn your head and put your right ear, which is your Lenni listening ear, close to my trunk so that you can listen very carefully to what I have to say.”

Beesting was puzzled. At first he couldn’t hear a thing. Everyone held their breath so that they could listen very carefully. Everything was quiet – even the birds stopped their tweeting and the wind quietened down. It was then that Beesting and the children heard it – doef, doef, swoosh, doef, swoosh doef – the heartbeat of the tree. How cool is that Andrew thought to himself – a tree with a heartbeat. Do all trees have a heart or is it only this tree he wondered? “Now children,” the tree continued, “let go of my trunk and put your right hand on your heart.” Beesting looked bewildered. He had no clue where his heart was. He tried putting his paw on his head, then on his back. He even scratched behind his left ear. Mary had to help him this time. “No Beesting,” she said, “your heart is sort of in the middle of your chest.” “Now that you have all put your hand on your heart, can you listen to what your heart is trying to tell you?” asked the tree.
