I remember visiting these magnificent beings in California when I was twelve. At the time, they were just big trees and I didn’t particularly care to be there with my parents.
After the Retreat was over on the last day, Kerry took Hayat and me to Armstrong Woods to walk amongst the redwoods. She said she likes to take trips there and has spent hours just walking the trails. These trees apparently are not as old as some other untouched forests since man got to many of them before they were protected. And fire has touched many more of them. You can see the scorch marks on most of the trees. Still they survive. And they are huge compared to us.
