The Intelligence of Trees


It took me half a century to learn of the intelligence of trees, why and how their leaves know how to lift their underbellies to the rain.

How many centuries did it take for the trees to learn this? How grateful should I be for the power of observation?

When will I inherit the intelligence of trees?


from "All Drinking Aside", Chapter 22 (rough draft)

  1. How grateful should I be for the power of observation?
    I think it is a very good and important question. Grateful to be so lucky. LW
