For a great tree death comes as a gradual transformation. Its vitality ebbs slowly. Even when life has abandoned it entirely it remains a majestic thing. On some hilltop a dead tree may dominate the landscape for miles around. Alone among living things it retains its character and dignity after death. Plans wither; animals disintegrates. But a dead tree may be as arresting, as filled with personality, in death as it is in life.

It enriches and refreshes the earth. And later, as part of other green and growing things, it rises again.

Or we would put firecrackers in the frogs and throw them and blow them up.

The earth is not scorched on this trail. The grass is still growing there.
William Commanda
