This may sound weird, but as I get older, I feel more tree-like.
I used to feel more like an animal–running here and there, hoarding resources or building shelter and constantly assessing other animals.
I also know that trees are similar to animals–despite appearances, they communicate/act/feed/excrete and do many of the things that animals do. I guess I just feel more rooted, more like I’m supporting things in a subtler manner, and just enjoying myself wherever I happen to be.
