INTO THE LIGHT
My neighbors had an old, ailing, tree removed yesterday. It was a towering creation, that must have taken a hundred years or more to grow. It was dying, and its huge decaying limbs were a danger to the many houses in its vicinity. But it was actually shocking to see how quickly it was removed, with only a neat pile of woodchips left behind. Requiscat in Pace.
