Pastoral Resources

The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.

Hugging trees has a calming effect on me. I'm talking about enormous trees that will be there when we are all dead and gone. I've hugged trees in every part of this little island.

The guy who owned that island was from Oregon and he decided that he wanted to have an Oregon feeling to it, so he planted pine trees all over the place!

Nature is my springboard. From her I get my initial impetus. I have tried to relate the visible drama of mountains, trees, and bleached fields with the fantasy of wind blowing and changing colors and forms.

What the New Yorker calls home would seem like a couple of closets to most Americans, yet he manages not only to live there but also to grow trees and cockroaches right on the premises.

Skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face.

I put quite a few trees in last autumn. A lot of silver birch and a couple of native trees - just generally doing gardening, putting plants in and hedges in. It takes quite a lot of time and I love it.

What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away.

The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy.

You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters.

I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods.

Spring beckons! All things to the call respond; the trees are leaving and cashiers abscond.

Elves are like trees, grounded and focused from the trunk down but graceful and agile on top.

Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.

If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.

Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece.

When I was in pre-production for Trees Lounge, I was hearing the cinematographer talking with the production designer about colours and this and that, and feeling like I was losing control.

Trees love to toss and sway; they make such happy noises.

Love doesn't grow on trees like apples in Eden - it's something you have to make. And you must use your imagination too.

I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.
