Well, that has to do with our proccupation with change, I think - and the whole idea of speed (hence my deep disappointment at the "faster" book - it didn't really address any of this at all).
And then, moving away from the visual, branch out from the perspective of the tree, to that of the universe - all of us are just "vans", moving by. What makes us interesting? What makes any piece of your life something you focus on...? Ok, maybe that's a little far fetched of a comparison, but it all comes down to perception, certainly.
And yea, I think that's what the ultimate goal of the meditation's all about - getting into that perspective of connection, of seeing, of "slowness" as characterized by inner calm.
