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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.

A tree is such a rich metaphor in a million beautiful ways. You can consider a tree growing and consider its connectedness to all things above and under the ground.
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.
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
The tree of life was always there. Evolution just fills in the gaps.
Surely man was not created to be an idle fellow; he was not set in this universal orchard to stand still as a tree.
I like to think of thoughts as living blossoms borne by the human tree.
Like people, trees are all individuals.
