I hear the wind among the trees
Playing the celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Celebrate National Arbor Day this Friday, April 26. Plant a tree, give the gift of a tree, give yourself the gift of listening to their music.

There’s a verse from a song that I love by Celtic Thunder that is so appropriate for this: “Come by the hills to the land where life is a song Come stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done”.

What a perfect line for this post, as you say. If I’d known of it, I would have also included it in my book!
