“And then, because I did not move and waited with no expectation, I heard the whole forest sigh. It was such a beautiful sound – the wind moving from one end to the other and all the trees stirring as it moved past them so that, all together, they emitted a long, soft, fragrant breath. My eyes filled with tears, for I felt that somehow my pines at home were there with me in that gentle sigh, and that these trees were friends.”
