Rabindranath Tagore·1928Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
Lao Tzu·500 BCA tree as great as a man's embrace grows from a tiny shoot. A terrace nine stories high rises from a handful of earth. A journey of a thousand li begins beneath one's feet.
Mary Oliver·2006When I am among the trees, especially the willows and the honey locust, equally the beech, the oaks and the pines, they give off such hints of gladness. I would almost say that they save me, and daily.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love.
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
My enemy said to me, "Love your enemy." And I obeyed him and loved myself.
