The wisdom of trees – Walt Whitman on what our silent friends teach us about being rather than seeming https://t.co/n0Bv2gOabBhttps://t.co/CtcVnPafAz(http://twitter.com/brainpicker/status/928246133071253506?s=17)
Whitman.. suffered a severe stroke that left him paralyzed. It took him two years to recover — convalescence aided greatly, he believed, by his immersion in nature and its healing power. “How it all nourishes, lulls me,” he exulted, “in the way most needed; the open air, the rye-fields, the apple orchards.”.
reminds of Naoki.. and swimming in nature
How strong, vital, enduring! how dumbly eloquent! What suggestions of imperturbability and being, as *against the human trait of mere seeming. Then the qualities, almost emotional, palpably artistic, heroic, of a tree; so innocent and harmless, yet so savage. **It is, yet says nothing.

beyond the bot ness of small talk and smiles
