Ëmbla, the elm tree

I walked around Central Park today and a tree I have admired for years, but never knew what it was, felt even more familiar than usual. It was an English Elm tree. So I did a little research and discovered that in Norse mythology, women are said to be born from the Elm - they were called Ëmbla, which in Albanian beautifully enough means "sweet one".
And then this quote summed up perfectly what I experienced today:

‘… in every human there is a tree, and in every tree there is a human, I feel this, the tree wonders inside a human being, and the human being is caught in the tree … I serenade the forests, the forest sea is the second sea on earth, the sea in which man wanders. The forests work in silence, fulfilling nature’s mighty work; working with the winds, cleaning the air, mitigating the climate, forming soil, preserving all our essentials without wearing them out."
