While we're on the subject of trees: Point and Counter Point Some times I think people don’t see the big picture. Here’s a poem that circulated the network from the walls of the Snow Mountain RD. I'm afraid I don't know the author's name: I think that I shall never see A resource tempting as a tree. A tree that so much history's faced, A shame to see it go to waste. To think that some can stop and stare And never see the board feet there. God made the tree with just one flaw, He made the guy who owns the saw. And God heard him say as the chainsaw roared... "Only Man can make a board!" I sent this rejoinder from the slopes of Mt. Hood: “Here's another way to look at it, Stone Mountain. Enjoyed your poem. It challenged me:” A PART APART? One tree and others in a stand Together make a forest land A forest land then takes its place Among the earth and stars in space And who are you to stop and stare? Don't you see yourself in there? Don't you think the space you take Would rather be a mountain lake? He made the man who with the saw Built YOUR home by nature's law. He cut a tree, but planted one. And then God said, "Well done, well done."
