Sorrow
I sit here carrying an ache in my heart. The kettle boils now to make a soothing cup of tea. It started yesterday late afternoon.
At first I thought it was the farmers working the fields, but it turns out it's some wood chopping company tearing down half the trees behind my house and across the field. It has brought such sorrow to my heart. I have heard them working all through the night, and all day today. It's now 5pm and I feel this tension weighing down on my chest. It's a horrible sound to listen to. Big machines and cranes lifting huge old trees. I hope today is the last day and they don't touch the rest of the forest.
I understand this is part of the world we live in today, and of course I need firewood to keep warm during the winter because it's a house from the mid 1800s. But it still feels so sad because I came here to live closer to nature, and watching it get teared down makes me feel afraid. I don't know why but I just feel afraid. I think about all the animals in the forest and how they must feel afraid. The noise and destruction has brought a sadness to my day.
Hej Annika, I'm so sorry to hear what's happening with the forest! Almost everyone I follow on social media who are living in Sweden, had a forest cut down which they held close to their heart. Sending lots of love ❤️
I hope Friday was the last day and that they don't return tomorrow. Parts of the forest looks so sad and bare. So many animals and birds living around my house. Bohuslän finds new species and animals all the time. It's a very undocumented area. So it's sad to see so much destruction happening. Not sure why it's happened but I will investigate more next week. I haven't been so active here because honestly it's strangely affected my spirit. Thank you for sending your love ❤️
