“We all love to think about the butterfly. No one likes to think about the caterpillar. Everyone loves seeing the butterfly, so beautiful and free, but no one thinks about how the butterfly must start out as a caterpillar, and how that caterpillar must liquefy itself in order to become a butterfly – not an easy process! Spiritual practice and spiritual tools teach us about letting the control of our mind break down so that we can find peace, so that we can find freedom within ourselves; then we can take that out into our world. As we look at these challenging times, we think there are moments where it’s too painful and too challenging, and we must acknowledge those moments. But I do know from my own experience, that is where the change happens, that is where the growth happens. And, just like the butterfly, that is where the transformation happens.”

Dear Julia, did you know you are a role model for me since many years ago? By plain accident, I found your story on the Internet (I don’t even remember what I was searching back then). Your story and Luna’s. I was very impressed by your strong convictions and character. It’s been years since that time, but you are a woman I always take an example for both men and women when the opportunity to talk about taking real care of the beautiful creation comes. My family and friends know you and how you look, because your portrait embracing Luna hangs in the wall of my house. If anyone dropping by asks about that nice lady climbed up a tree, I tell them your story and Luna’s. Thanks a lot for being such an inspiration! God bless, we love you.

Hello Julia,
Toi humain qui a su montrer le chemin à suivre pour défendre nos forêt notre planète notre maison.
mille merci d’être toi

Dear Julia, i have discovered your unique life experience with Luna. I also feel life in trees, and spent nights in forest communicating with oak trees.
If one day you come to France, i would love meeting you and spend some time sharing experiences with you.
You are a beautiful soul.
I wish you a great day
Best regards

Julia, you are so right about the caterpillar stage of becoming a butterfly!
I know that you have been overly besieged by requests, but there is an ancient melaleuca tree in Palm Cove Australia abaout to be cut down tomorrow. I belong to a Facebook group, Personal Conversations with the Earth, and a member of that group posted this heartrending message today. You are one person I thought might have an idea for an effective strategy to save it. I wish she had said something sooner.

Contributions and connection please:
This iconic tree in Palm Cove has a fungal infection that’s making it a ‘risk to public safety.’ (Definitely not my words or belief).
Please send it love and let me know if you can hear any messages from it. It would have been at this location on French st/ Esplanade Palm Cove since before white Australia was settled.
It is set for the Council chainsaw brigade Wednesday and Thursday.
Miss Butterfly… Dearest Julia !
Seeing your commitment and the life you’ve chosen, to help and defend Luna and her habitat brought tears to my eyes…
Listening you talking humbly, sitting in front of your tiny red house, blossoming and imbued with your fantastic experience, with so much emotion that radiated from your body ans eyes have plunged me into a state of deep compassion. I would have loved to support you in this difficult journey… So I need to thank you for having ”crossed” your path although you don’t know me.
I imagine that your experiment did leave powerfull memoriein your brain and something like sadness but strength and mental too…
To let me know what you are becoming, what your life is made of, from now on, would fill me with profound joy !
Please Julia, accept all my sincerely human love !
Fond of your Being and of Oregon where live my American family !
