resignation...

"I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far! "
John Muir

(have you ever seen a discontented human? i haven't...at least not in London!)


"I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do."
Willa Cather, 1913

(i should learn from the trees...)



"If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree."

(true... )

(still plenty of snow in NL more so in Groningen than Friesland. bitterly cold today)
