There were three! Actually pretty much every tree you can see in both photos are marked for termination, 33 mature trees in total, why? A bigger field! I cannot express how outraged we were when we found one of our favourite green spaces had been raped like this. Yes that is a strong word but it is a mild expression of how I feel about this. In total we found some 14 trees had already been terminated. If you are a movie buff then by all means think about the Terminator, it is quite relevant in this case, mindless mechanical termination. With all due respect there is no blame or accountability to the people that actually cut them down, they are just doing their job. The reason for my rant is twofold; firstly to express my outrage, the second is to understand the impact.
Life is a field of energy that holds us all, each of us play
our part in this energetic field. Anyone who has lost a family member will
understand the impact, the birth of new life changes that filed; even the
resignation of a work colleague changes the field.
Now back to the park and the grass, trees and the people
that use it. This park like any natural area has a field of energy that most of
us are either unaware of or simply take for granted. Life in any environment
has an energetic field, whether it is a forest, and park, a simple house garden
or your own family. It creates a field for the whole and for each life within,
and when considering each life it does so as part of the whole, for each life
is both part of the whole and a whole life within itself.
Each life has to be whole and complete to contribute to the
whole forest. It must however first and foremost maintain its own balance and
integrity. Often one life is stronger than another and in this case it can
either dominate or support depending on the life and environment. In a healthy cooperative
environment, one life may extend its own field out to aid or compensate for
another but without compromising the integrity of the other or the whole. All
life must balance itself to flourish. When one part of a forest is cut down,
all within and therefore the whole is affected and must adjust to the new
conditions. Re-establish the harmonic balance of life. This is part of the
natural cycle of life, the old pass over and the young mature to take their
place to make their contribution to the life as a whole and thereby benefit by
the health and wellbeing of the whole. In the natural life cycle, death is the decision
of each life and in conjunction with the whole, the lives in and around make adjustments
naturally to compensate, allowing the old to pass. But the sudden, deliberate and
mechanical termination of individuals from this place must throw the whole life
into stress and confusion, much like natural disasters do for us, why would it
not be the same.
The lives of the animal kingdom it is the same; they live
naturally in harmony and play their part in life’s harmonic play. Life is
perpetuated by cooperative activity in the animal kingdom with that of the
plant kingdom. We have seen what happens to the natural balance when man intervenes
and one thing is introduced or removed, it throws the natural balance of life
out and often a ripple effect is setup.
Humanity however seems to have forgotten this aspect of life
and now imposes his will on his own environment, with great speed giving no
time or consideration to the life around him, with him, of that life that he is
also a part of and is dependent on for his own wellbeing. Is this to be our legacy?
When will humanity realise this and awaken from this
insanity, and realise that he must live in harmony with his environment, the
very environment that supports him. It may sound idealistic but if man is the
son of God or some divinity, he must also realise that animals, plants and the
very earth he stands on, lives in a harmonic field of energy. We as a human
race were put here for a reason; surly this was not to enlighten the human race
at the cost of all other life. It must be to enlighten all life, to live in
life, to bring light to all life.
Fortunately for the trees in the green space, the community
spoke with resounding outrage and have stopped the termination of more trees.
