Nothing has ever been said about God
that hasn’t already been said better
by the wind in the pine trees.
~ Thomas Merton

Keep a green tree in your heart
and perhaps a singing bird will come.

~ Chinese proverb

My Life with Trees

I have always loved trees – the willows under whose shade I read my way through lazy childhood summers (after chores and baseball games); the first red buds in spring; the magic of hillsides scarlet maple against the evergreens along the river which took us in October to my grandparents’ house.  Now I’m immersed in the beauty of trees whose bare skeletons speak to me through late autumn and winter.  Through current reading, I am learning how the evolution of trees created enough oxygen on the earth to make animal life possible and how the future of trees is intertwined with the future of humanity.

Ode to Trees: Imagine holding a scarlet maple leaf – imagine writing with white chalk a message to the maple tree.  Imagine taking a long piece of birch bark and writing with charcoal a message to the birch tree.
