This does, indeed, resonate with me. Living in the Glenkens area next to a large plantation of Sitkas, I’ve witnessed the clear-cutting of whole swathes and the devastation it brings. I love how you see it from the tree’s perspective. I think that we, as a species, don’t empathise with our fellow inhabitants of Mother Earth. Beautiful words.
'Clearance' instantly takes me back to the shock of seeing old sections of the beloved forest where Tom grew up get cleared in Northumberland. Those mossy, magical worlds within worlds only exist in our collective memories and the photographs we took. Such a violent removal of so peaceful a place, wish it didn't have to be that way.
