RE: We Call it A Gum Tree, As If It Were Just a Thing

What a beautiful post.

I feel like if we can see trees, we can see so far. Sounds so silly, but to me to stop seeing through trees as just obstacles, and instead to see them in their complexity, and their relationship to each other, and to us, and to other animals, is to connect all the dots :)

Aww, those two beautiful trees in your town, they have so much presence! I love how the scar tree looks like it has a door in it, and how you pay them their due :)

You have such a lovely way of putting things. It's true.. with these I saw into the past very vividly. A brutal history behind the door, but also a glimpse into lives. I had no idea about the scarred burial trees though, did you?

No, I didn't know about the scarred burial trees at all. Must go do some more reading about that.
