Tips

Federico Nesi

August 12, 2021

For centuries the God of the Mountain has been trying to make the stoic hero of the plant world yield, trying with his impassivity and friability to make the tenacious tree succumb under the force of his ally and at the same time enemy "Force of Gravity".
But it still hasn't achieved its goal; and despite the evident and overwhelming difference of forces in the field, the brave Beech seems to oppose his inexorable destiny, clinging to the ungrateful mountain with its roots, with a strength and a will that we "mobile and thinking" beings are surprised to notice. in a simple Tree.
Its sight, if at first glance inspires curiosity, after a while it creates a sort of empathy, a meeting point that connects the existence of any form.

"Nothing is built on stone, everything on sand, but we must build as if sand were stone."
Jorge Luis Borges
