The broken trees, tangled branches, missing moss, absent ferns and dusty breezes bring to mind a quote of Aldo Leopold: " We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."
The poet, Robert Southwell, reminds us that we will need patience and time to once again witness another mature forest once it has been cut down, if we are lucky:
"THE lopped tree in time may grow again,
Most naked plants renew both fruit and flower;
The sorriest wight may find release of pain,
The driest soil suck in some moistening shower.
Times go by turns, and chances change by course,
From foul to fair, from better hap to worse..."
