The Root Tribe

"To the great tree-loving fraternity we belong. We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them - the whole leaf and root tribe."
- Henry Ward Beecher

"At night I dream that you and I are two plants / that grew together, roots entwined, / and that you know the earth and the rain like my mouth, /since we are made of earth and rain." - Pablo Neruda
