disgust.
“Yeah, I guess we are both eating bee spit,” he laughed.
“Come on, girl, let’s get back to town,” he said.

“These flowers are so amazing,” she said as she bent down to touch one of them. The flowers were changing from purple to yellow to blue then orange.
“They can feel our energy,” he said.
“What? Our energy? What do you mean?” she asked
“Our energy field. You know, our aura,” he replied.
“What’s an aura?” she asked.
“Well, you can’t see it, but it’s the energy field that surrounds all living creatures,” Jesse hesitated, trying to explain. “Okay, for example, say you were to take two metal rods, and hold the ends of them loosely. As you slowly walked toward me, the rods would automatically cross when you enter my energy field,” he explained.
“Metal rods?” she asked.
“Yeah, metal rods,” he repeated. “Anyway, all flowers and trees feel and respond to our energy much like the metal rod. They have a very strong connection with us. It’s like they can read our energy and then manifest it into a color.

They walked back to the town’s fire and Jesse handed Volney the torch.
“Thanks for your help, Volney.”
“Is all of this honey for me?” Volney said jokingly.
“No. Now that’s going to have to last us a while. I’ll be back this afternoon to pick it back up, and I know how much is in there,” Jesse joked back.
They walked up a steep hill and when they reached the top she saw horses pulling men as they worked the open crop fields.
“We are getting ready to plant,” he said.
“What do you plant?” she asked.
“Over there we’ll plant corn and in between the rows we will plant beans to help choke out weeds. Over yonder are the hay fields and— here come with me,” Jesse guided her over the hill and around the bend. “This is the pig farm.” Jesse opened the wooden split-rail gate and started to walk in, but Presley hesitated.
“What’s wrong?” asked Jesse. “You ain’t never seen pigs before?” he joked.
“I’ve seen plenty of pigs before,” she snapped. “It’s just really muddy and it stinks.”
“You want to ride one?” Jesse asked bright eyed.
“Ride one! No. I don’t want to ride one!” she quickly answered.
“Get on, girl!” Jesse said. He grabbed her around her waist, picked her up, and put her on a pig. “Suuuey!” Jesse yelled, “Ride that sow!" The pig took off running, bouncing Presley back and forth until she flew off into the mud. She laid there in shock for a moment and then burst into laughter.
“That was great! Now I’ll go!” Jesse jumped on the back of the pig and again yelled, “Suuuey!" The pig jerked and jumped until Jesse flew off beside Presley.
As she was laughing, she couldn’t recall a time when she had so much fun. Jesse gently helped Presley to her feet. He touched the birth mark on her arm, and she jerked away from him. He gently brushed her hair out of her face and then ran his hand down her cheek.
“I need to show you something else,” he said as he softly took her hand.
They walked up and over a large hill. In the distance was an enormous tree. The tree looked as if it went on for miles. It radiated a soft white light.
“This is Gracie.” The tree was surrounded by a solid gold fence which signified the importance of the tree. Jesse opened the golden gate and then closed it behind Presley.
“It’s beautiful. It looks just like the tree that protected me when I first came here, except much bigger.”
“Gracie is all over this world, but this is the tree that started all of the others,” he explained.
“So, she is like the mother tree?” she asked.
“No,” he said, “the other trees are just an extension of her. She has an underground root system that covers this planet and the other trees are shoots from this tree. So, we call them all Gracie because they are all one living tree. Do you understand?”
“Yeah, I guess we are both eating bee spit,” he laughed.
