I was so touched to reread Hermann Hesses observations and reflections. I read them as a youngster. I have been in love with trees since my young years and have played around and with them. Support them when they do grow on a difficult place and go to visit them when the wheather is rough on them. But also for wisom and to be reminded over and over again by their holding and allowing me to come home under their roof of leaves where I feel safe. 
Thank you so much for this sharing! I will remind my tree friends that some are in touch with them. Bless you!

 Barbara you made me so happy,as long you are there there is hope for humanity.Thank You

   Trees are my friend, too!  My favorite book as a child ... "The Giving Tree".  Their worth, right up there!  Amen
