As you pass a tree, know that it has a certain spiritual quality; it represents what we are looking for. If we could stop and think about that tree for weeks and months, we would come so close to Hashem that we would be on the verge of prophecy.

There’s so much greatness in one natural object that it’s able to bring forth from our souls this capability of recognizing the Creator. ~ R’ Avigdor Miller zt”l
