"Give me a land of boughs in leaf,
A land of trees that stand;
Where trees are fallen there is grief;
I love no leafless land.
Always room for another tree. Thanks. |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 07/17/10 at 01:20 PM I love the compassion in this one, the care of one species for another, the sense of union with the earth... all stuff I do so admire. You make that tool - well - a feelingless tool of shearing. I guess it is good it has no feelings or it couldn't do its job. Didn't you like Greg's Houseman poem? Thanks Kristina. |
| Posted by Max Bouillet on 07/18/10 at 07:42 PM Is life dependant upon production? We are all connected on this planet. Everything is in motion. Should we stop, do we die? Your words have inspired plenty of thought. Thank you for sharing. |
