" 'Only I can cast my shadow', says Sorensen. By that logic, no two tree shadows should be the same. This is a piece of truth we know and do not know. For who has ever cared to find out? We love to inhabit theories that tell us that there are exactly seven people on this planet who resemble each other completely. In spite of my affection for trees, I have never cared to find out likeness for shadows of plants and trees I have loved. Behind this notion of the individualism of trees is my curious question--even if two trees are not alike can't their two shadows be alike? For in this was ambition: I might not be a tree, but couldn't my shadow be tree-shaped?"
