On rare occasions, randomly or by choice, a book is read that alters irretrievably the construct of one's daily existence. There is no going back. To wit, Peter Wohlleben's The Hidden Life of TREES. Simply stated, the illumination of this formerly hidden realm means blithely taking trees for granted no longer presents itself as an option. Respect, if not awe, is front and center. Instead of fleeting, unfocused glances at trees while walking, now my gaze lingers. Contemplation. As the author states "- only people who understand trees are capable of protecting them."
