“… for humans as for trees, ‘body’ is really just shorthand for a plethora of movements and

processes, like lines tightly bundled together but with loose ends trailing in every direction.

For the tree, the trails are of roots below and shoots above; for people, they are of paths

and tracks, threading through the ground.”

......

“In the forest, trees grow older together. Their lives are intertwined, both below and above ground. Is this not equally true of human beings? People, too, endlessly create themselves, and one another, in the crucible of their common life. It is from the matrix of their relations with others, and with everything else in their surroundings that matters to them, that they draw the power of renewal.”
