DEAD TREES

I have always been drawn to the silent beauty and dignity of dead trees. I wonder if it is about how different they look, and that sometimes parts of trees have been lost. Is this loss necessarily a negative thing, or is it a parallel to the losses we experience ourselves?

Today there are scientific concerns about the using up of dead trees for firewood, etc., when they still have an important role to play in providing understory and habitat. Do we discard what we think no longer has value, when what we really need to do is think about what else can this person or thing do to help or support us. How can we protect them?
