I can see the mountains shining days ahead (Part 2)

In the Bird Sanctuary, trees are the true refugees given asylum. All around a suburban badlands grow. But here eastern white pines can reach their climax. Sugar maples can rest assured their stand will not be slashed for yet another showcase home. One’s mind can wander with the cardinals: "The ancient Greeks called the world {kosmos}, beauty...that the primary forms, as the sky, the mountain, the tree, ....give us a delight in and for themselves."
