Hello Nick,
I had to read your beautiful write-up many times and try to relax and listen to the sweet voices of the trees around me talking.
Right here in the mangrove forest of Nigeria's delta region, I listened hard to these gorgeous trees, I made them my center of attention and opened up myself to their allures. Then suddenly a little squirrel jumped over them, I didn't like that distraction but that was what Nature used to tickle the trees. Now with that movement, I could hear the trees whisper, I focused more on these less animated living things, then I heared them laughing hapilly, they sure appreciated the little organism that jumped around. Mmmm.. I though they should be complaining, but no, they are no humans, they are there to serve and they seem to enjoy doing it for even when the little squirrel started gnawing at their tender leaves they never complained, they just kept smilling, they just kept giving!! Then the wind came............... Ohhhhhh someone, someone, who? Oh no! My wife touched me and yank me back to this world of endless rat race. There with the trees, I had a peaceful time with nature and I hope to return back again soon.
Thanks Nick for the opportunity to experience the trees' world.
Many regards.
