Are you doing something of importance?
How to free your mind on a Sunday
I was visiting Aarhus in Jutland some time ago. My boyfriend Simon's parents live there. It was sunday and he and I were bored. Sometimes you feel this slow sleepiness crawl into your head if around parents too many days in a row. We felt that. Sleepiness. So what do you do? We decided to do wood graffiti.
We went to the basement of the house looking for tools. We needed a knife and a hammer. The parents asked "What are you doing?". We almost felt too sleepy to answer or maybe we just didn't want to risk being told off. Doing wood graffiti is not something parents necessarily understand.
It took us about an hour to cut the letters into the bark. I know it's wrong to harm nature like we did when tattooing the tree. But it feel right at the time. While we stood there in the woods, people would pass by and a wife would ask her husband: "Are you doing something of importance?".
The sleepiness slowly disappeared. We felt we did something of importance by trying to make people wonder - when going for a walk in the woods - if they do something of importance.
uhm harming nature
sorry but the goal does not justify the means in this situation.
Harming a living tree is bad. you could have written the same thing on a government building, I would have certainly liked that more!
