Sue Richards, regular Canadian gal, heats up as her reproductive Best Before Date expires.
Tuesday 31 October 2006
This is me in 1988. Due to the ridiculous belief that I would remember the details of this photo for all eternity, and the meno-reality of my current recall, said details are now somewhat sketchy.
I spent 8 months trekking across Canada, on to Hawaii, then New Zealand, over to Australia, back to California, up to Vancouver Island then home again. Along the way, I had the pleasure of meeting several ancient trees. Judging by my rather well defined calf muscles I’m thinking this is a photo from the latter stages of that very physical trip, perhaps Yosemite Park or maybe Merse Island.
You’ll notice I’m hugging the tree.
Tree hugging, kissing and patting is a favorite past time of mine. I love trees for how they contribute to my good health and the health of the planet.
When I meet a tree like this old girl, I’m full of wonder. How did this mighty growth avoid the ax, violent weather or ravages of fire for its entire, several hundred year life? If it could speak, what would it tell us?
Next question. Would we listen?
