Deforestation Shrine

I am in Brazil, traveling across the country with 2 other women. One of the others and I decide to leave on a day trip into the rainforest, driving out long dirt roads into the forest. As we are driving we break through the walls of trees and a clear cut stretches out along the road. I get out and walk through it, the massive trees have been cut and taken away, all that remain are the piles of branches and trunks, laying in the sun like silvery bones. The spirits of the trees are whispering through the air, up from the ground and in the leaves of the trees encircling the the ravaged ground. I walk into the forest on the far side of the cut and begin building an altar. It has tiers, rising in layers from the forest floor. The top level is lit with 4 candles. The trees tell me that I must create this altar to honor and hold space for the trees of this forest and this planet. It is a portal for the energy and voices of the the trees to move into and through. A while later the third woman joins us in the forest. She comes up to the altar. "What is this?" She asks, touching the glowing wood. I tell her how the clear cut called me to this work and she is incredulous, disbelieving that there would be a clear cut in the heart of this beautiful forest.
