L’arbre cache la forêt.
Proverbe Français
Ecouter la forêt qui pousse plutôt que l’arbre qui tombe.
Friedrich Hegel
La forêt, c’est encore un peu du paradis perdu. Dieu n’a pas voulu que le premier jardin fût effacé par le premier péché.
Marcel Aymé
Quand un arbre tombe, on l’entend ; quand la forêt pousse, pas un bruit.
Proverbe Africain
Brown and orange leaves
Cracking beneath my feet
My heart beats so fast
Unwilling to let it all go
Tree branches sway in the wind
Stripped of clothes and prejudices
Life can start over
Again an again.
