There are moments when, without warning, you stop to look at a tree. In those moments, you don’t just observe a trunk or some leaves: you enter, almost without realizing it, into a silent and profound dialogue with something that surpasses us.Trees are in no hurry. They stand. And in their standing they teach us a calm that we have forgotten. Looking at them, you realize how fragile and breathless the race we make every day is, and how strong instead is the one who sinks roots, who lets the seasons pass through them without resisting, who knows how to lose leaves without fearing the void.In front of a tree you can feel a sense of return. As if something inside us recognized that silence, that verticality, that invisible connection between earth and sky. It is a form of presence that does not need words to make itself felt.Sometimes, you also feel a subtle melancholy. Perhaps because trees guard time, and we instead chase it. Perhaps because their existence reminds us that everything passes, but does not necessarily end. So, staying a few moments in front of a tree that embraces you with its branches is not only contemplation. It is an act of listening. A way to find, within the noise of life, a fragment of truth.
