Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven ~ Rabindranath Tagore

I look out of this window and I think this is a cosmos, this is a huge creation, this is one small corner of it. The trees and birds and everything else and I’m part of it. I didn’t ask to be put here, I’ve been lucky in finding myself here ~ Morris West
