Remain rooted as a tree, through times of success and adversity. In fact, in dark times there need not be words, but only the forest’s empathetic company. In this way, I feel a part of her wonder, and certainly less alone. I am always mesmerized by the forest’s shadows, and how they engulf my own. The forest cradles my shadow as hers & gives my soul company without saying a word. And, yes, you may catch me twirling there for a spell! I find the weary woods a perfect place to banish fears, worries, and sadness. In a strange way, syncing with nature’s moodiness can help to release negative emotion. Then, dance with the enchanted breeze, and the chances are that you’ll exit enlivened. When you are down, enter a foggy windswept forest. I slip into a moody forest to dance with the enchanted winds for a spell.

A giver of life, who takes your soul and guides it to the light. In the spirit of my tree sprite, Scarlet Oak, these are lines that she would speak, too! And for those who have read my novel, when I saw this image, it reminded me so much of how I envisioned Scarlet/Willow.Ī mother is a forested gift, branching from roots, and strength, and Love that uplifts.Ī mother’s Love is a force as beautiful, steady, wise, and all-encompassing as an endless forest. This is dedicated to all those nature lovers who feel most at home amongst the trees! I know that I can sit with, stand by, gaze at, and commune with any tree, and imagine being one with it. The forest birthed her soul in me, and I belonged to every tree. In a time when there is such despair in the world, my wish is for all of us to find these quiet moments of solace in nature. Nature is that loving loyal space, and the more we care for her well-being, the more we care for our own, both individually and collectively. But we can find places that allow us to field a spectrum of emotions, and feel comforted. In the depth of the woods, nature leaned into me shading the ache of humanness with loyal loving trees. Indeed, you will surely find peace, acceptance, and adventure the deeper you wander. The forest can feel like an enduring lover.

I am wedded to wooded wanderlust a true soulmate in the rough. This is my favorite line from the awe-inspiring poem, “Trees,” by Joyce Kilmer. Heena used my “Here I set beneath a tree…” quote as an insta caption for this sweet leaf art. She is the kindest soul, and her talent is endless. I adore this lovely artist! Her name is Heena Shrivastava, and you can click to find her on Instagram. And I owe all of this to the majesty of a tree. Beyond that, my soul feels nothing short of free. Under a tree, I achieve stillness, as my heart is able to calm and embody a vibration of love. Also, I have placed in this post some of my all-time favorite words and poems about trees from famous nature-loving souls. So, come with me into the realm of wooded wanderlust as you read my tree quotes, forest quotes, and tree poetry. Today, I hope to open this wonder to you, and inspire the love I feel so deeply. I could spend hours beneath their canopy, awe-struck days on end in the woods, my preferred home. Trees, to me, are simply fabulous in every aspect and form. So, it’s no wonder that I am fixated on writing both so much. Some of my most beloved words can be found in tree quotes, forest quotes, and classic tree poetry.
