Loverzan : trees don't have panic attacks

trees don't have panic attacks

Trees are really good company. They don't judge, provoke or pass you by. They just sit there in that immense silent equanimity.

You can say anything to a tree and it will still hold its lovely shady branches above you, cradle you in its embrace, let you feel its roots running deep below you.

Trees... Maybe they know how hard it is to be a human.

"This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds.
To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at
the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of
lightning in the sky, rushing by, like a torrent down a
steep mountain."
-The words of Buddha, quoted by
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Actually yeah, trees kinda kick ass LOL.
For some reason my art professor gave me a very odd look when I told her that, after being rather excited about an assignment that was simply going outside and finding a tree to sketch.
I've never communicated with them heh - but they're certainly wonderfully beautiful works of nature.

My teachers have been giving me odd looks all my life-I've always thought maybe it was 'cause I didn't quite speak the same language, or maybe my gestures didn't quite match up, but perhaps it's the tentacles...

Trees do kick ass. If only they would kick ass a little more literally-maybe the damn humans would shape up and start living with a little more respect and harmony.

Thanks for commenting... It's nice to hear from another Rockfordian!

Ents, we need ents.
