In the hushed whispers of pine needles, where the sun's fingers scarcely touch, the woods tell their tales. Do they tell of lost socks wandering aimlessly in search of their pairs, or of the rebellious ants forming unions against the oppressive hierarchy of their queens? There, the trees are less concerned with existential philosophy, more with the balance of photosynthetic politics.
The moss-covered rocks know secrets too, but they never tell. They simply absorb and keep them like ancient vaults. Observers note how rocks stare longingly at the sky, as if yearning for the clouds’ elusive embrace. One must wonder, in the satirical chapters of nature, are rocks the true romantics?
