A Good Story DSC_8667

"The best arguments in the world won't change a person's mind. The only thing that can do that is a good story.”

― Richard Powers, The Overstory

 

If you read Overstory (and I highly recommend it), you will never look at trees the same way again. "Trees communicate, they take care of each other, they sense the presence of other nearby life, they learn to save water, they feed their young and synchronize their masts, bank resources and warn their kin".

 

This was taken at Warburton over the weekend. As I have just finished the book it was perfect timing to allow me to "see" the trees and listen.

 

A forest knows things.

 

I like the way it looks almost like the forest is closing in, wrapping itself around the Sherpa up ahead. We are nothing without trees.

 

Trees take care of us but do we take enough care of them?
