Trees

They are building a new house near my home. Seems a silly thing to do at the moment with so many perfectly good houses standing empty. In order to build they need to clear the land. That means cutting down my ancient and wise friends. Trees that offer shade, trees that offer homes for birds, squirrels and chipmunks. Trees that I have grown up with. Trees that are my friends. I watched them cut one down today, a tall oak tree. Helpless to stop them because I don’t own the land they stand on. My heart screamed as I watched them tear through its beautiful bark, and when she hit the ground, that once tall and magnificent being, I cried. I am angry today, at the greed, the arrogance and the ignorance of my own kind. Why do we need yet another home? Will one of the empty ones that already stands not do? Why must land have a building on it? Can it not just stand natural? Can it not just grow wild as it is meant to be? Why?

I have a passion for trees and feel just as you do. To see a tree being cut down breaks my heart. They are living things. Reading your posting actually sent shivers up my spine.
