TREES

Snippet

Jack Pines. . . are not lumber trees [and they] wont win many beautie contests either.  But to me this valiant old tree, solitary on it’s own rocky point, is as a beautiul living thing can be. . . In the caligraphy of it’s shape against the sky is written strength of character and perseverence , survival of wind, drought, cold, heat, disease . . . in it’s silence it speaks of. . . wholeness. . .an integrity that comes from being who you are.  Douglas Wood Fawn Island (Minneapolis; university of Minesota press, 2001 pg 3,4’
