Trees

THERE IS A TREE MEDITATION IN THIS POST

I am frequently told trees are a fire hazard

Trees don’t light: fires – humans do!

Human arsonists have set fire to the side of my property at Goolwa after torching the local bushland.

So the way to stop bushfires would be to get rid of arsonists –not trees

Someone recently said

“trees belong in the bush” (referring to natives)

To which I replied

“they are in the bush –we moved in”

I was on a corner block

The neighbour behind me and to the northeast removed all trees from their properties

and the neighbour next to me chopped down all the trees — the original owner loved trees.

The council  removed a tree  opposite where I lived

It wasn’t in the way of anything –not even impinging on the footpath

After it was chopped three magpies stood by the stump

Their home gone

I am opposed to absolute ideologies (fascism) so I do not impose my ideas on others.

But I am tired of others imposing their views on me.

I am sick of people telling me to get rid of trees.

Trees are essential for the air and soil.

And essential for other life forms

Considering famous people like David Attenborough have been ignored I am not expecting anyone taking notice of me

I think that trees should have been listed as an endangered species a century ago

and a permit required to kill one.

Real-estate development removes millions of trees destroying the homes and food source of other life forms and effecting both the soil and air.

So instead of chopping down trees lets bring in harsher penalties for arsonists.

And build our homes in harmony with the environment.

Oops I forgot: People believe that cultures that live in harmony with the environment and don’t worship money are primitive and therefore inferior.

I no longer belong to “Trees for Life” because they have devolved into an impotent bureaucracy. (we were expected to use poison and to kill nonindigenous plants and animals  — when I questioned “humans” as non-indigenous no one even laughed)

One of my support staff (after i told him this) said — Trees For Life is an oxymoron

Not only do the multinationals rule the world they have the masses “brain washed”.

I have recorded a “Tree Meditation” it is paraphrased form MOTHER WIT by Diane Mariechild (Plant meditiation)

HUG A TREE — ask permission of the tree first
