Ah, my friend in the woods,
You’ve discovered, I see:
There’s a secret to living inside of a tree,
That itself lives inside you where ever you be.
For as you grow, the tree grows . .its branches spread wide.
And so it connects with the whole countryside
And the trees in the woods, and the trees on the hill,
It connects you to all living things, if you will.
You do not live alone just inside of your tree.
For your tree fills the world
And your world fills the tree.

And, that is the point don’t you know? Can’t you see?
We live in a huge woods, not a hole in a tree.
As we travel around in this vast. neighborhood
We find that each tree is delightfully good.
One might be beautiful, tall, dark and mute.
One bathed in sunshine and covered with fruit.
What’s great about woods, is easy to see
You get to spend time with each wonderful tree.
