all of the trees in the field will clap their hands

Sufjan Stevens - All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands

Please listen to that as you read this.

I feel that we as human beings are just as much a part of the Earth as trees. And though we lack the physical roots in the ground, for every fall and attempt to reach something higher we are drawn back towards the earth by gravity.  Which coincidentally, the story goes, was discovered by a man while he was sitting under a tree. We bind ourselves to the grass, the streets, the plains, the valleys and the mountains. We build planes and spaceships to get away or over it all but in the end we're nothing without standing on solid ground.
