What is amazing to me is how this argument will never be resolved. No one will convince you, Stuart, that it's fine and just to preserve the Hollow Tree. And no one will ever convince the Hollow Tree Society that what they are doing is perverse and silly. <br /><br />On the one hand, how frustrating that neither side is really listening. So much egoism and stubbornness on all sides. Yet on the other hand, what fun! The Hollow Tree has amplified these fundamental questions and caused them to echo through the ages! <br /><br />Henceforth, when we gaze upon Her, we will mull these questions over in our heads and get no closer to any answers. Who are we? What is it? As stewards and cultivators of the Earth, what do we hold on to? Where do we put it? And when do we let go? <br /><br />If you think you know the answers, you are deceived. These are not matters of principle, politics, ideology, or dogma. They are matters of intimate sentiment and intellectual sensitivity.<br /><br />How enormous and profound are the mysteries of the universe. In the shadow of the Hollow Tree, we are humbled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
