"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." - Hermann Hesse, Bäume. Betrachtungen und Gedichte
Project 365: #365 + 20
I love the area we live in, it is thickly forested, and there are always the most amazing trees to see, each unique, and all responding without question to the change of seasons. This tree was one of the tallest I have seen, and seemed to go on forever. There is something mystical and reverent about trees. They have been around forever, just watching and growing in wisdom. They have so much to teach us if we will listen; patience, steadfastness, protection, provision. If we remain still in the presence of their sanctuary, completely still, we can feel their life, and begin to grasp the ancient laws.
