Meet the King Of the Jungle !

3 years ago ..i had the privilege to meet the King of the Jungle, who was standing with his arms wide open to welcome anyone with love... how majestic....how strong the spirit...you could feel it the moment you set your eyes on him....so full of love...just respect him and sit on his laps...and he will show what life truly is....the fact that....how a tiny pea could make an impression SO HUGE...and everything it needed to grow that big was provided by mother earth herself....so if a tiny pea had learnt how to extract so much energy from this very same earth that you and i walk on everyday....isnt it embarrassing that we have not tapped into it at all... ? yeah thats what i heard as i sat on its gigantic roots.... speechless .....amazed at its growth.....it just told me...Hey, you have every access to this source of energy that i have discovered....now go find it...and come back to me....when you have grown your roots a little more ....and somehow...from the time...i went into this beautiful Pandora of our land , The Taman Negara....and looking at how huge life is around me...made me realise that i shoudnt be stuck between bricks anymore....

So ever since i met the King....i have been trying to stay connected to the real life out there....and it has been making all the difference in my life...though i have a lot more growing to do....before i could look at the King in his eyes and say....hey ...look...i have outgrown you !! :)

So...thats my experience meeting the Tualang Tree at Taman Negara ( National Park ) Its scientific name is Koompassia Excelsa . And yes, sadly they are being cut down for timber though its protected under Sarawak's Wildlife Protection Bill of 1990 .And the interesting fact about it is...this is the favourite tree for honey bees coz their tremendous heights provides them the safety from any danger , unfortunately both the tree and the bees are not safe from human ...as always :(

Well...i am at least glad that i had met the King....and looking foward to see him again :) If any of you happen to see him...do convey my love and respects to this beautiful creation !
