It's tough for sure! We have to make choices and choosing death is NEVER easy.

"makes one feel like they MUST create something at least as wonderful, where even more life can flourish." - I really resonate with this. This is how we can make choices to affect our landscape, knowing that we are shaping the space to the best our our abilities and honoring life as much as possible. And the hope is that the tree will become a centerpiece table in our home so that we may honor and let it live on.

That's cool that a theater is being built in Mazunte. I spent a few months there 7 years ago and it was just starting to grow. What a beautiful place.
