What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?
It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
So, do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Lost
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you,
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

And a nature photographer who stays on the trail misses a lot of good pictures.
