Piece from his dairy

As I was whizzing through the air yesterday
and looking at the trees,
I saw that beneath all the change
that these mighty trees daily underwent,
there was a little something that persisted
Every leaf has its own separate life
It drops and withers
But the tree lives on
-MahatmaGandhi

Gandhi has not written much about nature, music or drama. But in this diary we could read a letter he wrote to Kallenbach, his close friend in South Africa in which Gandhi talked about trees.
