Had...This was a wonderful post Lucy... very poetic. Had me transfixed. A mute boy in one of my novels says (in his head of course): If I put my ear against the trunk of a tree, I hear the tree talking to me. I hear it like my own blood. I hear it breathing too. Some trees are tired. Especially the really big ones. Their sap flows so slowly. So tired they sigh. Others are young and strong. They make so much noise. You can hear the leaves growing inside their branches. <br />And under my feet the earth talks as well. It tells me its secrets... where a caterpillar is hiding, tied up in its nest of silk. It tells me where the spider has laid her eggs. And where the ants are going.<br />I suppose we shouldn't quote our own work but there was just this sudden connection. Enjoying your posts very much.Loved the one on A's.Dianne Hofmeyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222157214605257030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478585016269977581.post-60567927983745704812009-09-15T15:10:13.749+01:002009-09-15T15:10:13.749+01:00I shall have to be more careful what I say in futu...I shall have to be more careful what I say in future, or someone will write a dissertation based on cheeky Facebook comments.<br /><br />Well done with your leaves, Lucy.<br /><br />Lucy's leaf ... hm, nice sound...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478585016269977581.post-39604518001690752642009-09-15T14:37:01.069+01:002009-09-15T14:37:01.069+01:00OH!

(Aside: I took Small Bint to Muir Woods and she listened to a talk by a forester who was talking about 'the trout in the streams'. Later I found her with her ear against a tree and asked what she was doing - 'listening for the trout in the trees', she said.)Stroppy Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560035800075465845noreply@blogger.com
