Trees

Mostly I like to look at trees, and walk or sit under trees, and feel the healing and vitality they offer.  But it's also satisfying to hear what people have to say about trees.

There is always Music amongst the trees in the Garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it. —Minnie Aumonier

Happiness is sharing a bowl of cherries and a book of poetry with a shade tree.  He doesn't eat much and doesn't read much, but listens well and is a most gracious host.    —Astrid Alauda (who also said "if I had time for only two exercises, I would choose yoga and skipping")

There are many quotes about trees — and even a whimsical book about living one's whole life above the world, in the leafy branches, Italo Calvino's The Baron in the Trees .
