If you think you cannot change a century or two, just count the years. I did ... 200 plus! If you think a single cut has little power to effect some mind of defeat, look closely. In a single action, one cut, the lifetime of 200 years is altered. For the good, you say? That would depend on your view, your judgements and the power you presume is right, of course. A parallel here to consider, besides the life of a tree, the environment or even altering the generations who kissed in its shade, who carved into its bark ... are the words we use ... words that cut and change a lifetime as well. How you and I speak, condemns or builds, and sadly more and more in my work, more and more in the media, more and more in moral inequality, more and more in creating narratives and sides, all supposed justified forms of cutting we wonder why it is we cannot connect. In cutting, however it is spun, many fall - just as centuries old trees. #talkifuwant #cut #words #trees #centuries
