“Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.”

– Rabindranath Tagore, Fireflies

i think this is one of my favorite quotes about trees. i found it a long time ago but neglected to write it down at the time. the memory of a beloved quote about trees and heaven pops into my mind occasionally, so i am finally writing it down somewhere in order to always remember it.

    trees are sacred to me. even since i was a child.
    i do not consider “tree hugger” a negative description.
