'One Ring to
rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness
bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.'
JRR
Tolkien
Treebeard
I
wonder how Treebeard would feel if he saw the way the people of
today are destroying the trees in the Rain Forests of the world.
I could imagine him calling to all the other trees to go after
these monsters with their machines. However he would not be able
to get to the real culprits as they would be sitting smugly in
their own little towers raking in the money from the destruction.
Tolkien
himself wrote, “The savage sound of the electric saw is never
silent wherever trees are still found growing. Every tree has
its enemy, few have an advocate. In all my works, I take the part
of trees as against all their enemies.”
Back
in the far away days of the British Isles the people used to revere
the trees, they had a whole alphabet dedicated to the various
sacred trees. This alphabet was called Ogham. I wonder if Aragorn
and Legolas knew how to write in Ogham?
To
get back to the trees, we need to plant trees if we are able to,
they not only look beautiful and peaceful, but they work hard
at keeping the air clean for us to breath in, we in turn give
them breath from what we breath out. A nice arrangement don't
you think? They can give us shade in the summer and a wind break
during the winter. Some even give us fruit to eat!
I
went to a site called Shady
Oaks and they have E-trees to plant on your site so I got
a few to add here to give us a nice environment. I hope Treebeard
will be happy here.
Anyway
I hope you enjoy this site. If you have any comments please write.
