The Majestic Trees - From the voice in the Forest.

The coconut tree, how common it is here in the tropical country like Malaysia and how we take it for granted even though every part of it is being put to use by man from the fruit to its enormous trunk. Every now and then we should give this tree a hug, who cares if we are being accuse as a tree-hugger by those who see only profit at the end.

For how much longer will they endure, holding the earth together, providing shade and oxygen before they fall to the hands that wields the chainsaw. Every time I behold such awesome presence of a gigantic tree reaching into the skies, I am struck with  a sense of  faith in creation.

Every nation, every country every forest has its own 'King of Trees'. Here the Chengal and Meranti are among the Lord of the forest, just as the Redwoods are to California.  

Anyone who stands before a fully grown tall and majestic tree of any specie and not be moved by its presence ought to have his or her head examined.

It takes years and years for a tree to grow to such a height weathering heat and storms along the way and it takes less then an hour for it to be chopped down with a chainsaw.

What an empty sky it would be if not for the trees in its horizon.

If you look long enough at the formation of the branches of any tree one can see a design in it.
