Trees are sanctuaries
Whoever knows how to speak to them
whoever knows how to listen to them
can learn the truth
They do not preach learning and precepts
they preach
undeterred by particulars
the ancient law of life
- Herman Hesse

Lovely blog. I happen to be someone who loves trees, all different shapes and sizes and colours. Beautiful!!! I do think they are theraputic and can tell a million stories. Their beauty fascinates me.
Have a lovely day
