I often wonder what trees see. They've sent permanent hills reduced to illuminated concrete; their friends disappearing faster than one can blink; the scant humans turning into a stream, and then a torrent; houses made from their fallen comrades getting closer and closer until one day they're beneath you; and then a sudden violent death.
Wow. What a perspective. I bet most human 'problems' are such a trifle for trees. Like we perceive ants or gnats.
