What Do the Trees Know? (view large)

What do the trees know?

To bend when all the wild winds blow.

Roots are deep and time is slow.

All we grasp we must let go.

 

What do the trees know?

Buds can weather ice and snow.

Dark gives way to sunlight's glow.

Strength and stillness help us grow.”

― Joyce Sidman, Winter Bees & Other Poems of the Cold

Planting trees may be the single most important ecotechnology that we have to put the broken pieces of our planet back together.”
