ENTS Aesthetics
Project
The most beautiful thing we can experience is
the mysterious. It is the source of all true
art and all science. He to whom this emotion
is a stranger, who can no longer pause to
wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as
dead: his eyes are closed."
- Albert Einstein

What
is it about a particular tree, grove, or forest
that tells you that this is a special place? What
is it that touches you in some way on an
emotional, spiritual, or aesthetic level? Is it
different for individual trees as opposed to a
section of a forest? If so what are the
differences? This project is something in which I
ask ENTS people to participate. I want to see a
collaborative effort, than one derived directly
from my ideas.
At the ENTS Rendezvous in October, I presented a
PowerPoint presentation on ENTS. One slide dealt
with what I called the Aesthetics of the Forest. I
had a bulleted list of 1)Music, Poetry, and Prose,
2) Celebration of Trees, 3) Spiritual, 4)
Emotional, 5) Philosophical, 6) Artistic. I would
like to see ENTS explore some of these concepts to
a greater degree in the future.
