Acts of creation are ordinarily
reserved for gods and poets.
To plant a pine, one need only own
a shovel. ALDO LEOPOLD
The Art of Forestry
Posted in Uncategorized with tags carbon positive, Green building, Wooden Architectue on December 26, 2010 by MyakerI saw a Chinese man in Rome. To him all the buildings
Of former and present times seamed to be tiresome and heavy.
Oh he sighs, poor people! I hope they will understand,
How in some future time fine wooden columns will carry
the roof’s tent.
And that the educated eye’s sensitive sense will be delighted
Only by slats, felts, and golden ornaments.
Look, at that moment, I thought too see mentally one of these
dreamers,
Who compares his aerial web with solid nature’s eternal
carpet,
Who calls the pure healthy one sick
In order that he himself, the sick one , will be called healthy.

If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge,
then must he put to more stregnth,
but wisdom is profitable to direct.
