Tree Plumbers

We hold all the tools in such a manner that we think we can control or understand the plumbing of the earth.

Yet the contraptions and mechanisms are not within our grasp. Again, we turn to Emerson, we are the tools we have created.

This far over-reaching extension of humanity traps our souls. Indeed, even I forget how connected to the tools I must be. We are meant to flow freely, as rivers down mountains, as birds in the sky, as trees in the wind.
