You know, when people look at a tree, they look at the leaves; they don't look at the spaces between the leaves. They're focused on the tree. I think there's an awareness of spaces or it wouldn't look like a tree to them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the perception of a tree we can distinguish the act of experiencing, or perceiving, from the thing experienced, or perceived.
Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.
Like people, trees are all individuals.
We are aware only of the empty space in the forest, which only yesterday was filled with trees.
I was in my yard and thought that the tree was a living being. We take trees for granted. We don't believe they are as much alive as we are.
We ought to think that we are one of the leaves of a tree, and the tree is all humanity. We cannot live without the others, without the tree.
If you look closely at a tree you'll notice it's knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully.
I can't see the forest through the trees, except the trees are people.
Sometimes it's best to speak from ignorance: that way, you can see the wood without being distracted by the trees.
A tree you pass by every day is just a tree. If you are to closely examine what a tree has and the life a tree has, even the smallest thing can withstand a curiosity, and you can examine whole worlds.
