Vern Benson RIIP: Alder Time

The Deaths in 2014 site lists under January 20:

Vern Benson, 89, American baseball player (St. Louis Cardinals) and manager (Atlanta Braves)

First of all, note the addition to the "St. Louis" and the "Mocking Jay, Fire Bird/Cardinals/Red..." pattern-cluster.   His surname is an addition to the "Ben/Time/Big..." and the "Phrases in Names" pattern-clusters re "Time Son" -- the inner twin world communicating to our "Patriarchal" outer twin world, that the time has come.  Note the following from his wiki page:  

Vernon Adair Benson (September 19, 1924 – January 20, 2014)

Note his middle name re "a dare"... , the time has come for a dare?!  Perhaps daring us on the "Atlantic" coast to be "Brave" (I live on the Atlantic Coast).   The name Adair means "Rich/Blessed" in origin.   Note the etymology of the name Vernon:

From a Norman surname which was from a French place name, ultimately derived from the Gaulish word vern meaning "alder".http://www.behindthename.com/name/vernon

Now that's audd, the communication "alder rich blessed time son".  It appears that the inner twin world want to communicate something via the alder, note from the tree's wiki page:

Both the Latin and the Germanic words derive from the Proto-Indo-European root el-, meaning "red" or "brown", which is also a root for the English words "elk" and another tree: "elm", a tree distantly related to the alders

So we have "Red" cropping up again... and Brown, additions to the "Colour" pattern-cluster.  Note this next excerpt:

The bacterium absorbs nitrogen from the air and makes it available to the tree. Alder, in turn, provides the bacterium with sugars, which it produces through photosynthesis. As a result of this mutually beneficial relationship, alder improves the fertility of the soil where it grows, and as a pioneer species, it helps provide additional nitrogen for the successional species which follow.

My research in the above area brought me to the nitrogen wiki page, note the following:

Specific bacteria (e.g., Rhizobium trifolium) possess nitrogenase enzymes that can fix atmospheric nitrogen (see nitrogen fixation) into a form (ammonium ion) that is chemically useful to higher organisms. This process requires a large amount of energy and anoxic conditions. Such bacteria may live freely in soil (e.g., Azotobacter) but normally exist in a symbiotic relationship in the root nodules of leguminous plants (e.g.clover, Trifolium, or soybean plant, Glycine max) and fertilizer trees.

Note the following from "Fertilizer Tree" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer_tree, note this excerpt:

Fertilizer trees are further useful for preventing fertilizer erosion, and improving water usage for crops.^[1] Sesbania,Gliricidia, Tephrosia, and Faidherbia albida are known as fertilizer trees.

Note the following from Faidherbia albida's wiki page:

Faiderbia albida is known in the Bambara language as balanzan, and is the official tree of the city ofSegou, on the Niger River in central Mali. According to legend, Segou is home to 4,444 balanzantrees, plus one mysterious "missing tree" the location of which cannot be identified.

So note the addition to the "Identical Number Sequence" and the "4444/$$$$" pattern-clusters... multiples of 4 have cropped up in recent posts.  As well, given the "missing tree", we have an addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster.   So where is the missing tree?!

Note the following:

Faidherbia albida is important in the Sahel for raising bees, since its flowers provide bee forage at the close of the rainy season, when most other local plants do not.^[5]The seed pods are important for raising livestock, are used as camel fodder in Nigeria,^[5] and are relished by elephant, antelope, buffalo, baboons and various browsers and grazers, though strangely ignored by warthog and zebra. ^[6]The wood is used for canoes, mortars, and pestles and the bark is pounded in Nigeria and used as a packing material on pack animals. The wood has a density of about 560 kg/m³ at a water content of 12%.^[7] The energy value of the wood as fuel is 19.741 kJ/kg.^[5]Ashes of the wood are used in making soap and as a depilatory and tanning agent for hides. VITA (1977) says the wood is used for carving; the thorny branches useful for a natural barbed fence. Pods and foliage are highly regarded as livestock fodder. Some 90% of Senegalese farmers interviewed by Felker (1981) collected, stored, and rationed Acacia alba pods to livestock. Zimbabweans use the pods to stupefy fish. Humans eat the boiled seeds in times of scarcity in Zimbabwe.
It is also used for nitrogen fixation, erosion control for crops, for food, drink and medicine. Unlike most other trees, it sheds its leaves in the rainy season; for this reason, it is highly valued in agroforestry as it can grow among field crops without shading them.^[1] It contains the psychoactive chemical compound dimethyltryptamine in its leaves.^[8]The leaves from this legume tree are high in nitrogen, and can double yields in maize crops, etc., when added to the soil.

If I were to think of what it's time for, given all of the above, I get the sense of that it's time to grow up and stop ravishing the earth without properly giving back... it's time to get with the "natural program", to see the value of incorporating trees ... such as nitrogen bearing Alders in and around farm land... a more natural way to fertilize our crops .  And as far as I'm concerned, the lost tree is the ancient TUSSH... the tree  of life in the garden of Eden of our ancestors.  It's time to bring it back, newer and better.  Simply key in TUSSH to the search box at the top of this and my Toumai blogs and you will discover just exactly what it is.
