(thank you adeena for that!)

“I felt in company with trees. I couldn’t distinguish between the sense of company in being friends with a tree versus a person except the company with a tree was easier. I didn’t just climb a tree, I was in company with it like two friends sharing beingness together… My experience with trees is social.”
