brian has a thing about trees. can't stop looking at them. i've been abroad with him when he's been in rapture over an avenue of pine trees. "look at them, bill" he'd say. "aren't they beautiful!? people don't appreciate beauty these days. they look at everything but they don't really see. who really looks at trees and sees their shapes and colors? they're magic!" that's what it's all about.
