the sounds of trees

the most interesting sound that a tree can make is the rustling that the wind makes through the leaves and branches. It creates a sensation of ambient energy when the whole world is quiet except for the tree; almost as if it speaks to the universe as it rustles quietly. This "energy" is certainly a symbol of universal peace and natural tranquility.
