I was eager to find out what these ancient ones would say. It wasn't the adventure I thought it would be, but the trees did say something.

I've been there before, before I knew trees could communicate with each other and before I understood what these giants were.

I couldn't resist making comparisons. Two species of birds were in a tree. Two very different presidential hopefuls were standing in a room.

How do I get still when the world is raging around me? I started with noticing the beauty all around me no matter what was happening.
