only if there are angels in your head will you ever, possibly, see one. - Mary Oliver

I am one of those who has no trouble imagining the sentient lives of trees, of their leaves in some fashion communicating or of the massy trunks and heavy branches knowing it is I who have come, as I always come, each morning, to walk beneath them, glad to be alive and glad to be there.

All important ideas must include the trees, the mountains, and the rivers. • To understand many things you must reach out of your own condition.

There is nothing more pathetic than caution when headlong might save a life, even, possibly, your own.
