Joyce Kilmer Would Approve

Many, if not most, of us are familiar with the poem "Trees." 

I've always enjoyed it for, among other reasons, because I grew up old near New Brunswick, New Jersey, the birthplace of its author, Joyce Kilmer.

Joyce Kilmer, 1886-1918

Halfway around the world, actually 10,334 miles, in Melbourne, Australia it is possible, and perhaps even therapeutic, to do more than look at trees.

Not performative but more transformative and, I'd argue, a better way for us to get along with some of the life forms with whom we share this planet.
