    Imagine a person gets struck by lightning and we carve their body into the shape of a branch

    This feels both wholesome per the idea, and awful as it feels like an epitome of humans only understanding humans.

      The damaged tree likely could still have been a home for animals. This, not so much.

      I don’t understand the need so many feel to make sure that human fingerprints are visible on everything. Like carving initials in trees, spray painting on boulders, stacking stones at the beach.

      Can’t we look out at the natural world and see that it’s the absence of us, or absence of any signs we were there that makes it beautiful?
