A reflection in time. The worlds tallest treetops.
The biggest giant, the biggest one revealed anyway, some are kept secret for their protection, and proclaimed to be the tallest on earth stands approx 38 stories high.

Prior to the European conquest of Native America, the Native Americans just about had it right. Never were there more of a spiritual people, a people that were one with our creator, and nature. A people who acknowledged the creator and the blessings He bestowed on them having given them their Garden Of Eden. Truly there was not a more abundant, and beautiful land on the earth. The ideologies of what freedom could be to the European settlers came from what the Native Americans already owned.

A people described by the Puritans as savages, heathens, devilish, were anything but, a people whose integrity could not interpret the evil that was encroaching on their very existence. Their number within their 500 tribes throughout America were approx 16 million, today numbers are approx 1 million, close to extinction. The same puritans who burnt people at the stake.

They had no govt, they had no armies, no taxes, no kings or queens, or "royal families", nor fought over riches. The tribes did have leaders, and council, who were the elders. They did not need to be told of a Creator, they knew him better than most on earth, and saw Him thrum innocent eyes. They respected the elder, believed in honesty, and cherished the lives of those who had passed, their burial grounds were sacred, a place of reverence. A people who stood in awe of wildlife, the waters given them, and the forest, a wilderness that can only be imagined today, a pristine paradise and took only what they needed to survive without ever harming its balance, and in doing so everything flourished as if it had never been touched. It was for what they had, and envied by the Europeans that brought about their genocide.

A people who had not suffered from the diseases brought by the Europeans, nor were their rats, or cockroaches which were known to carry diseases.

A people who were, and are, the true landlords of this land, a people this govt would like to forget, a people who suffered from their holocaust. Its difficult to confront the wrongs that this govt committed, a govt that was founded by it fore farthers, a govt whose constitution we all live under today, and for all those involved, whatever roles they served, yesterday or today will ultimately will be judged by the Lord.

Its worthwhile to view this video, and see the creations of God.
Who can imagine today the giant Redwoods, and ancient forest that once were?, and what it must have felt like to walk among such giants that stretched forever along the Pacific coast. Just a memory of what had to be a land of enchantment. God creations of life are not only beyond what we summarize as beautiful, and awe inspiring, its a reality given us for such a short period of time, and man will never be able to acknowledge what was truly given till the road runs out, and then its to late.

All of you are right, the original sin was mans greed, and its ever present, we see it in every facet of life. Possessing more, and the want for more, things, money, position, and the power to control, even at our own peril, the clashing of minds within our homes and within every society, and within the powers of every govt will one day will lead to some end.

It truly must break Gods heart that He regretfully ever made man.
