Trees

The other day, I looked out our bedroom window and was shocked to see our neighbor’s backyard. They had cut down the trees along the back fence.
Trees that had dominated our view for so long.
Trees that had shaded us in summer.
Trees that were home and a resting spot to the birds that I feed every morning.
The trees are gone.
Sadly.
But I have faith in nature and look forward to what is to come and replace the trees.

What is the expression about God and trees?

When we lived in Lynbrook, our next door neighbor took down two large tress that we looked at every morning when waking up. Apparently, they had installed a pool and did not want the constant debris falling in it. After several months, we got used to the expanded view out back form the 2nd floor bedroom, so it was not that bad in the long run.

I had just read a post by marketing guru Seth Godin about the elevator in his building being out for days and asking ChatGDP to put the notice tenets received into a less bureaucratic perspective and more human perspective, so I gave ChatGDP the question of how to express my feelings about a neighbor cutting down their tress which I enjoyed. A summary of the response: Remember that it's okay to feel a sense of loss, and expressing your emotions, whether through writing, talking, or other forms of self-expression, can be a healthy way to navigate these feelings. Its just what you did.

As much as my daughter loves trees she has the opposite problem, her neighbors 2 trees cover most of the sun on her pool and wishes they would be cut down.

Not sure I’ll get used to this. Hoping they’ll put in others.....or we may just put on in on our side.
