We often forget that "we are nature." Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, what we are really saying is we've lost our connection to ourselves. ~ Andy Goldsworthy

 “You know why trees smell the way they do?” Murphy asked, looking up from her hammering. “Sap?” Logan guessed. “Chlorophyll?” Murphy shook her head. “Stars. Trees breathe in starlight year after year, and it goes deep into their bones. So when you cut a tree open, you smell a hundred years’ worth of light. Ancient starlight that took millions of years to reach earth. That’s why trees smell so beautiful and old.” ~ By Frances O’Roark Dowell in Where I’d like to be
