I know that in our previous life we were trees, 

and even in this life we continue to be trees. 

Without trees, we cannot have people; 

therefore, trees and people inter-are. 

We are trees and air, bushes and clouds. 

If trees cannot survive, humankind is not going to survive either. 

We get sick because we have damaged our own environment, and we are in mental anguish because we are so far away from our true mother, 

Mother Nature.
