Nature is the best source of wisdom we have available for
free. Trees are one of the best examples of that. Trees grow roots in a place that is favorable to their
existence. They ground themselves first by growing their roots and once they
feel sustained and secure, their trunk and branches reach toward the sky.
Some grow very fast but do not last very long. They provide the necessary wood to heat many meals, warm cold hands or build houses. They join the recycling process of nature with a Zen approach.

Trees are generous. They just need some water and sun to provide us with delicious fruit. Even when they are young and fragile, they announce the promise of their gifts.

Trees hold in their trunks and leaves the medicinal solution to many ailments, which unfortunately have been exploited for excessive profit by pharmaceutical corporations or cleared altogether to make way for livestock production.
Through their connected roots, they share water and nutrients and provide the right environment for many other creatures that live underground. The forest is an unified organism stronger than each individual tree.
