Listen to the Wisdom of the Redwoods

Listen to the Wisdom of the Trees

Young Saplings, listen closely to the  Wisdom of the Trees

Listen to the melancholy sound of wind stirring their branches, their blue-green needles warmed by the sun 

Then you can unravel the mysteries of the forest; where streams begin, where lightning strikes, where bears give birth to cubs

Listen to their stories of lightning, fires, thunder storms, heavy winter snows, wolves  howling  in the night

Young Saplings, listen to the Wisdom of the Trees and learn of patience, courage, strength, endurance, hope

Then one day you too may grow to be a pillar of the forest 

And some weary spotted owl

will call your branches home
