Crane and Tree
From time to time, i notice something that is supposed to look quite usual to me, but in fact is quite unusual for me. When i see a tree i think of life, when i see a crane i wish i could think of a bird making a nest in the tree, but indeed this crane is the cause of trees being destroyed.
This picture was taken in the heart of Abu Dhabi… I have seen the brothers and sisters of these trees be watered and pampered for three years. Remember water is scarce in the desert.
An then one day the yellow crane comes and takes the tree from the root. I feel the pain every time i drive by. I feel the pain with every date that is lost as the tree is hauled away… as if wailing to go back to its roots.
How important it is for me not to uproot myself from the earth, from the core from my roots.
