I am looking at the trees, they may be one of the things I will miss most from the earth, though many of the ones that I have seen,already I cannot remember and though I seldom embrace the ones I see and have never been able to speak with one, I listen to them tenderly, their names have never touched them, they have stood round my sleep and when it was forbidden to climb them they have carried me in their branches James Wright

The worship of trees is one of the earliest forms of religion. Trees are sacred to various Gods and Goddesses and represent life and immortality. In the past and present, trees represent unity with all things because their branches reached towards the heavens and their roots reach, unseen into the ground. They represent the connectedness between the earth and the heavens.The Properties of Trees Birch: Protection of children, purification, and creativity
