"I once met one very special oak in Denmark. This oak must be over 800 years old now! I met this giant while I was studying singing in Denmark. It had a big cavity in its trunk, so big that one could seek protection in it. The oak felt almost like stone, yet it was alive and it had witnessed all those centuries and given shelter to all those people and animals. The feeling was so calm, almost indifferent, very different than the feeling of young trees, which are full of dense life."
