Treemendous way of seeing: Rick Bass

When a forest gets to be this old and untouched, it becomes something more than a forest. It becomes what we would think of as a mind, with history, knowledge, memory, and foresight. - Rick Bass -

Old friends on the trail to Heather Lake in the Cascades. This is a small fragment of a forest that lived undisturbed for tens of thousands of years. Whole valleys full of the peace of wild life. And silence that sings joyfully from bird to bird along river, rock, mind.
