"The Circle has healing power. In the Circle, we are all equal. When in the Circle, no one is in front of you. No one is behind you. No one is above you. No one is below you. The Sacred Circle is designed to create unity. The Hoop of Life is also a circle. On this hoop there is a place for every species, every race, every tree and every plant. It is this completeness of Life that must be respected in order to bring about health on this planet."
~Dave Chief, Oglala Lakota
It is said that you can count the rings within a tree trunk to estimate how old the tree was when it was cut down, but how do you measure how many new trees will never sprout due to the loss of this one?
Great reflection in your comment about knowing from the rings how many new trees will never sprout... Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe question dawned on me as I was looking at the rings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it with me, Heidi.
