Like you said it is not that destruction is bad, it is the greed behind it. And it is also the unconsciousness, the lack of caring for the earth and all its creatures that boggles my mind. They didn't even have the decency to relocate the frogs and other creatures there, or to work around the trees instead of plowing them down.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299877776069389696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-24959764580387403902011-10-14T22:38:12.123-04:002011-10-14T22:38:12.123-04:00Thank you for sharing your story with us Lisa. My ...Thank you for sharing your story with us Lisa. My heart cries for your losses. Sadly if we do not have the legal fiscal "ownership" of the land we cannot stop the decimation of the beautiful woodlands which surround our homes. Unfortunately the monied interests too frequently serve the powers of Greed. The ones who would be true stewards of the land must stand by in mute dismay and watch the rape of the land they so love. I had written a much longer, pro environment comment several weeks ago, but due to an error with the sign on process, my work was inadvertently deleted. Lets hope this one gets through.

More and more I understand what the Mayan...Bootie,<br /><br />More and more I understand what the Mayan people meant when they said "it would be an opening in consciousness" for us, during modern times. I think we are all seeing the "errors of our ways" through the destruction around us. <br /><br />If only we could be wiser with destruction......<br />It's not the destruction that is wrong necessarily.<br />It's the way that it serves GREED rather than Creation.<br /><br />I'm am very sorry to hear that they cut down the OAK near your home. I'll definitely offer tobacco to the OAK around my home -- in memory of YOURS. <br /><br />Love.<br />LISALisa F.

The lot next to mine is being developed by a contractor. The proposed home doesn't even have a buyer yet. My neighborhood is already full of unoccupied, cookie-cutter style homes built by the same company. I prayed that they wouldn't cut down the Oak in the back of the lot. But they did. It only reinforces my Dream to sell my home (when the market picks up a bit) and move to an old farmhouse in the country. And yet, it wasn't so many years ago that a wooded lot was being cleared for my home. I was so unconcious then and blinded by the Dream of home ownership. I should have followed my gut and bought an older home instead of building new.Bootiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172384426611745917noreply@blogger.com
