[...] He knew you were making every effort to provide your end of a merry Christmas, with the tree, etc.

[...] It is the so-many-odd days or months that have gone into its production in your terms, or years that have gone into production of the tree. [...]

[...] As we sat for the session in our “new” den we could hear through the open sliding glass door the mixed chorus of tree toads and various insects echoing through the woods in back of the house, and up and across Holley Road.

[...] The tree of knowledge, then, did indeed offer its fruits — and “good and bad” — because this was the first time there were any kinds of choices available, and free will.

A low room, where lower portions of trees show a yard, (pause) fairly deep, but more narrow at the sides. [...]

[...] Perhaps a connection with spring: A stone structure, a house, I believe, a strange tree, the word hycynthia.

[...] One’s own actions therefore seem to be as exteriorized, or apart from consciousness, as trees or rocks seem to be. [...]

[...] The trees thrashed in my neighbor’s yard across the road. [...]

[...] The streets are lined with trees arching up to meet overhead; periodically those intersecting patterns of leaves and branches are punctuated by bursts of light from the streetlamps. [...]

[...] This metaphor is particularly apropos at this time, with the trees still carrying their thick growth of leaves — yet later in the fall it may become even more applicable as the leaves drop and the streetlights, poor as they may be in comparison to the light of the universe, can shine through a little more brilliantly.

Your feelings are as natural a part of the environment as trees are. [...]

[...] Thoughts are not given the same validity as rocks or trees or beer cans (two of which sat on the coffee table between us at the moment) or automobiles. [...]

[...] Look at a natural object, say a tree; if it is spring now, then imagine that you see it in the fall.

“Anyhow, each morning when I scatter birdfeed in the driveway of the hill house, the cardinals and the mourning doves, the chickadees and the blue jays and the other birds are waiting in the nearby Russian elms, the oak tree, or lined up on the telephone wires. [...]

[...] The deer I see in the woods north of the hill house would continue to bound through the brush and among the trees. [...]

Heat or no, I had to notice that the room seemed plunged into greenness — the leaves trembling and the fir tree so close to the window that a branch could grow in if you left the window open long enough.

[...] Among them are: cogeneration, the use of waste heat from manufacturing processes to generate electricity; solar radiation; ocean waves; new, more sophisticated methods of burning coal so that it’s much less polluting; subterranean heat; the production, from municipal solid wastes, of ethanol (alcohol) as an excellent substitute for gasoline; the burning of biomass — waste materials from the home and farm; various methods of deriving energy from the vast oil shale deposits in our western states; the establishment of “energy farms” of trees and hydrocarbon-generating plants; energy reservoirs of pumped water. [...]

[...] I wrote these notes on the morning of January 8; they came to mind while I was working on an ink drawing of a complicated tree bearing within it two birds’ nests. [...]

On this hazy, lazy day
All thoughts drop to sudden end,
As if the sullen air
Into itself a puncture drew,
So trees and houses and all we know
Were gently drawn to follow through —
Then quickly, like a holocaust,
A container tipped at end at last —
All our thoughts slide away
Into a hole that time has made.

As you walk, become sensuously involved with the trees, landscape in general and colors, and if possible lose yourself in their fragrance and vitality. [...]

Now it is obvious that the body grows up about the inner self, and that trees grow out of the ground, whereas buildings do not ordinarily spring up like flowers of their own accord; so the inner self has various methods of creation, and uses the EE units in different ways, as you shall see as we continue with this discussion.
