Learning from trees

Everything in the universe exists in macrocosmic and microcosmic forms.

The solar system is mirrored by the atom, a factory by a colony of ants.

So, too, are the branching dendrites of our brains which spread from each neuron like the branches of a tree.

Dendrites pass information quickly from one neuron to the next, processing at an amazing rate.

The better care one takes of a tree, the more branches it produces.

The more one uses her brain, the more dendrites are produced.

The more dendrites one possesses, the better one's potential for intellectual accomplishment.

When Albert Einstein died and left his brain to be analyzed, the only real difference between it and the brains of other humans was in the amazing amount of dendrites Einstein possessed.

Science has told us what the trees have always known, that proper use strengthens and enhances.
