Take it to the trees ...

forest walking

tree talking

"How dear the woods are!

You beautiful trees!

I love every one of you as a friend"

~Lucy Maud Montgomery~

"Alone with myself,

the trees bend

to caress me.

The shade

hugs my heart"

~Candy Polgar~

"Now we enter the ancient wood.

In which wild forms the gnarled and mossy boughs

are twisted, what a sensation

of sacred repose"

~Henry James Slack~

"He envied the bark,

which had been,

in the course of a lifetime,

both forest

and

fire.

One endured; one destroyed"

~Karen Joy Fowler~

seeing things clearly

and quietly

"I never saw a discontented tree.

They grip the ground as they liked it,

and though fast rooted,

they travel about as far as we do"

~John Muir~

"Knowing trees

I understand the meaning of patience.

Knowing grass

I appreciate persistence.

~Hal Borland~
