I wish I could have told him that loneliness is a human invention. Trees are never lonely. Humans think they know with certainty where there being ends and someone else's starts. With there roots tangled and caught up underground, linked to fungi and bacteria, trees harbour no such illusions. For us, everything is interconnected.
الحُلْمُ فتاةٌ ورديَّة الوجنتين ، أخَّاذةٌ كحورية البحر ، ولعوبٌ مثلها أيضًا . لو تقدَّمتَ لتحملها بين ذراعيك ، لانزلقَت منك ، ليِّنةً وخفيفة ، مثل سمكة ، أو مثل السَراب الَّذي خُلقت من مادته . ولا مصير لأولئك الذين يشتاقون إلى لمسها ، غيرَ استنزاف حيواتهم .
أمَّا الحقيقةُ فليست سوى عجوز بشعرٍ رماديٍّ كالسماوات العاصفة ، عجوز بلا أسنان ، تبعث ثرثرتُها القشعريرة في الأجسام . هي ليست قبيحة ، ليسَ تمامًا ، بَيْدَ أن فيها شيئًا مُريبًا وغير مريح ، وهو ما يجعل النظر إلى عينيها أمرًا في غاية الصعوبة .
