The Kingdom of Trees

Between heaven and earth, between mankind and the stars, lies the kingdom of trees; between that which gives us food, housing and work on the one hand and that which is incomprehensible
and unaccountable on the other.

Trees in the History of Civilization

Kashmir

Trees are Sentinels
Guarding, Nurturing, Protecting
Bastions of Dignity

Breathing life
Providing shelter
Asking for nothing
Sacrificing everything

-K. Earle

Tahiti
Namibia

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them,
can learn the truth.
They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach
undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.

-Hermann Hesse, Wandering

Korea
United States

For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary
than a beautiful, strong tree.

-H. Hesse, ibid

Thailand

Trees, proud standing people
stretching fingertips to the sky, reaching, praying
glorious attention, breathing light.
strength shelter timeless confidence
bending and firm comforting …

-Wallace Stevens

Mali
Italy

Planting trees early in spring,
we make a place for birds to sing in time to come.
How do we know? They are singing here now.
There is no other guarantee that
singing will ever be.

-Wendell Berry

Madagascar
Japan

No wonder the hills and groves were
God’s first temples…

-John Muir

Sahel

I hear the wind among the trees
Playing the celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

India
New Zealand

A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire,
in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a
dancing tongue of flame
to warm the heart.

-Hal Borland

Italy
Ethiopia

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

-John Muir

Easter Island

The Gift of Grandparents

Macedonia

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the
lives of little children.

-Alex Haley

Honduras
Tibet
Colombia

A grandparent is a best friend, teacher, cheerleader, and counselor.

Italy
Japan

There is no grandfather who does not
adore his grandchild.

-Victor Hugo

India
Malaysia

Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends, and
hardly ever our own grown children.

-Ruth Goode

Nepal
Croatia

The best place to be when you’re sad is a
grandparent’s lap.

Kashmir
Sri Lanka

Grandchildren are God’s way of
compensating us for
growing old.

-Mary H. Waldrip

Honduras
Afghanistan

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the
first grandchild.

-Welsh Proverb

India
Mauritania

It is as grandmothers that our mothers come into the
fullness of their grace.

-Christopher Morley

A STATEMENT BY STEVE MCCURRY

“I can think of few greater humanitarian
organizations than the EMERGENCY
hospitals in Afghanistan which have
operated continuously throughout the
turbulence of the past few years.
When many fled the country, Emergency
doubled down on their commitment to care
for Afghans as they have since 1999.”

– Steve McCurry

Starting on August 15, we are teaming up with Ishkar to raise funds by selling the print below at a special, one-time price to show Afghanistan that we have not forgotten.
More information coming soon at http://www.ishkar.com

All profits from the print sale will go to EMERGENCY’S
work in Afghanistan.
