Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.

Even cooler: albinism is lethal to plants because without their green-pigmented chlorophyll, plants die. Sprouts can survive for a short time feeding off their seed’s food supply, but even so, they usually die after a short time. But, in some rare cases like with this tree, the plant actually becomes parasitic, attaching to a neighboring tree’s roots to steal its nutrients.

Be like the earth. When the rain comes, the earth simply opens up to the rain and soaks it all in.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.

At the heart of every frustration lies a basic structure: the collision of a wish with an unyielding reality.
