What do you see here? A tropical underwater getaway, a pillar of coral (so don’t forget the snorkel and fins), autumnal colour, an abstract painter whose style you feel you should recognise, but can’t?
No, sorry to disappoint.
If trees could tell you what they see, they would say this is a friend, deeply scarred, bleeding resin trying to self heal.
Who would cause such injuries?
The people who think a new house is more important than the elder who unfailingly filters and cools the air that they breathe; that sunlight is more important than shade; that searing heat is preferable to falling leaves.
