The goal of healthy solitude is love: love and acceptance of ourselves as we are and where we are, and love and compassion for others.
~ from SINGLENESS by Dorothy Payne
Old trees hold us to the earth by their deep roots. And trees are ourmemories, like the blueprints of our planet's history. When ancient trees are cut, the earth loses its memory.
Our forests, those brave and sheltering Standing People, need their ancient forests, just as we humans need to be firmly rooted to our past generations, the grandparents who hold down our family tree.
