The following is an excerpt from a paper that JoyBeth wrote:
I sat on top of the mountain behind our home and cried. As the tears kept streaming down my cheeks, I kept on saying over and over, “I'm so sorry. Human Beings are so unaware. I'm so sorry. Human Beings are so numb. I'm so sorry. Human Beings are so greedy. They just don't get it!”
I had just discovered that a particular area of the mountainous woods that lay for miles behind where I lived had been clearcut. Only this time it was in an area that I had thought was impossible for the woodcutters to get to, where some very unique beings resided and who would now no longer be able to stay there.
For 26 years I had very consciously and systematically opened up and developed my Soul's abilities that have allowed me to communicate with the metaphysical and multidimensional worlds that flow in and around us all each and every moment. As a result, I have been actively working with The Elementals, or Nature Spirits, that reside on the granite mountains and in the dense mossy evergreen and hardwood forests of Maine. The fairies and elves who live directly behind us are my special buddies and I realized that some were now displaced.
The next day I hiked in the area of the recent clearcut and sure enough, the particular Elves who had needed and tended to the big tree beings and unusual rock formations were no longer there. I wailed some more and after I had let out my grief, I was able to tune into something I had not seen before: what I call “Cleaner-Up Fairies.” I was amazed at the level of energy vibrating from these beings who go into an Earth area “to clean up destructive energies and to move the Earth energies well on their way into healing.” What was remarkable to me was the fact that these nature spirits were not angry, nor even sad. They were busy and very happy doing what they could to be of service.
It was true that the humans had unwittingly displaced Nature Spirits from the place they had both been giving to and receiving from. It was true that the humans had played power and greed games of trying to cut down older trees in places that it was impossible to remove their tree bodies or bones from, and so the trees just lay, dead, on the Earth. It was true that the humans had killed many types of living plants with their big machines plowing through the mountains and forests. However, the nature spirits weren't hung up on nor judgmental of those actions at all.
They were focused on cleaning and healing the area and on working with me in increasing my compassionate awareness of the role I play in helping other humans to open their perceived awareness of the Earth's Elementals and our human interdependence on the work they do in growing and healing the Earth. To transform the pressing Earth destruction we humans have sped up and intensified, we need to work with the Earth's Elemental's special knowledge of nature and life. We have to learn to directly communicate with them and work on keeping and establishing areas where they can both light up and delight, or receive and give, the energies they especially provide in the circle of life…
