The Heart of the Tree
In Honor of Earth Day Youthful Wisdom
June 17, 1878 County Farm
"I pressed back into the heart of the tree and waited, for what, I could not explain. Bein’ in my tree was good because no one could find me. I climbed way up, close to the top. The higher I climbed, the less visible I was to those rooted in the earth. Unfortunately for them, they were limited. Trees—misunderstood and under-appreciated—were the eyes, the witnesses of the world. There wasn’t a better place for untanglin’ thoughts and bein’ amongst clouds. " Samuel Hodgdon
