These grasses, these trees,
and the some five hundred
species quietly enjoying
Iife on Earth
no matter which direction
we look.
Oh, wake up man!
you are not the master
of this place.
Shake off your arrogance,
begin again to learn
from your neighbors.
” Sacúdete tu arrogancia,
empezar de nuevo a aprender
de tus vecinos”. Genial
🙏
I found this so beautiful, Richard. I am especially passionate about trees (and nature) and have learned a lot about them during the past few years. I once wrote a post called, ‘Befriend a Tree’, about a relationship I have with a particular tree near me. Trees are indeed our neighbours and are precious; without them, we wouldn’t exist. All trees are our friends and neighbours. They have strong bonds and relationships with each other, communicating between themselves on a symbiotic network of fungi from one tree’s roots to the next. They communicate with us, too, if only we stop to listen. I talk to ‘my’ tree and listen carefully for its response. If you are open to these things, it’s surprising how much we can learn from nature. Life isn’t all about us humans. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous piece, my friend 🌳💛🌿.
if we only stop and listen…❤️
Sound advice.
We are beauty-blind……. we walk and talk but fail to see the mystery of the every day. The is an act of treason ( tree-son).
