I'm so sorry for your loss of your Axis Mundi, your ash friend. I have a tree like that, too. I"m grateful she is on my land and no one can take her away. She is a wise old American cherry, her trunk is five feet across. I think she was hit by lightning once, but you know, even though she is bent and broken and fallen there is still a bit of green that comes from her. Amazing, they are. Thank you so much, Georg. A lovely piece to spend time with.
Oh I am so sorry for the loss of your ash friend, this sort of human-ing by the council always gets to my heart. Although like you, my head sees the rationale behind it, it's another loss of connection to our real world. Despite the sadness in your writing, I really enjoyed this sunny, wondering walk with you and your son 💚
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean such a lot to hear that you enjoyed this piece. There feels like there is such loss of connection to our natural world 🩵
What a beautiful and heartfelt story Georg 💚 So inspiring to read and between the sadness and the loss of a piece of nature there is hope, hope for a new generation that will finally treat the nature with respect and sees the importance of nature in all of its glory ✨🍀 Thank you for bringing that hope to us 💚
I loved reading this Georg. Tree elders have such importance in our landscape - internal and external! From one tree lover to another, thank you for honouring the Ash with your son - such respectful role modelling - our little people so desperately need this in our time.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Trees are amazing aren’t they, I’m so pleased to have met another fellow tree lover. They really do hold so much wisdom, this tree would have witnessed so many changes - it made me so sad but I am pleased that my son and I honoured her 🩵
So much beauty and love for nature here. I felt your deep sadness for the ash tree and humans callousness but I also felt hope through the image of your son and his enthusiasm for nature. ❤️
I love feeling the connection between you, your son, the fallen Ash tree and the woods, George. Reading this has brought me closer to you. Thank you for the walk, the tree and especially the light of hope. Sending love, Josie
Thank you so much for reading my work, I'm so pleased to have shared my walk with you. It did feel as though hope is shining with children, who instinctively know to protect and care for nature 🩵
Oh, this is so beautiful despite the sadness. I love the connection you have forged with the trees and it sounds like you're raising your son in the most gorgeous way. Thanks for letting us join you on the top Loop trail. The wisdom of the ash lives on in you and your boy x
Thank you, these woods are very special to me, and are central to the book manuscript that I am currently working on. They hold so much wisdom. Thank you for reading this piece 🩵
a wonderfully fresh and bright walk through nature with you and your son. Some of the descriptions I found truly beautiful. Simple ones like ‘the emerging treacle sunlight’ and ‘mosaic of markings and more ‘ - they provide a lot for the reader to imagine with.
Thank you for your kind words of support, I'm so pleased that this piece resonated with you. I always wonder if I am descriptive enough in my writings, I'm so happy this piece reached out to you 🩵
