Forest Ballet


My artistic rendering of trees in the forest created from my original photograph. I thought the trees looked like dancing ballerinas, which is how I came up with the title "Forest Ballet."


"So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.” ― Herman Hesse

History is a symphony of echoes heard and unheard. It is a poem with events as verses.
