Came across a great quote from John Muir from John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir:"It has been said that trees are imperfect men, and seem to bemoan their imprisonment rooted in the ground. But they never seem so to me. I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!"
I need to read more of his work. That's just lovely.
(Magical photo of little boy among the trees via bies'. Gorgeous.)
