Glad To Meet You, Trees!

“I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow

to keep an appointment with a beech-tree,

or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.”

Psithurism - a rustling or whispering sound, such as leaves in the wind

What is beautiful about Eva Cassidy's Tall Trees In Georgia is how it expresses the gentle nurturing of trees in times of disappointment, regret, or sadness.

"Tree, Tree, with what shall I bless you?

If I say to you that your fruits should be sweet, your fruits are already sweet; if I say that your shade should be pleasant, your shade is already pleasant;

if I say that a stream of water should flow beneath you, a stream of water already flows beneath you! Rather, I will bless you as follows:

May it be God’s will that all saplings which they plant from you be like you.”

The Talmud

Our love. Always.

'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.
