I was oblivious to the life force of trees until about 20 years ago when I was hiking through a pristine redwood forest on the California coast. I was standing on a ridge overlooking a roadless valley where no humans were at the time and I heard the redwoods "sing" in kind of a pulsating undulating scale. I was astonished. Now I am a tree friend and open myself to them quite often. Blessings..Hmnnn.....tried to give you my 2 cents worth. Looks like my vote is out of gas, so to speak. Bummer. Will do it on another post.
