Trees

“Majestic in their stance they are grounded in their being, ask of nothing and listen well.”

We learn a great deal from trees with their network of roots, limbs that stretch and sway to the changing winds. Majestic in their stance they are grounded in their being, ask of nothing and listen well. We are reliant upon their existence, share oxygen and our love towards the sun, moon and stars. They are our responsibility as they are our keepers, part of us as we are part of them. There should be no question to their sustainability, we need them more than they need us.

“For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche.”

Hermann Hesse
