The Hardy Tree….
I didn’t know about the Hardy Tree. I’m posting Mr Mac’s Twitter about it, as I like what he says. Then the ‘Guardian’ article tells the tale, and what a tale it is………. https://twitter.com/RobGMacfarlane/status/1607855898239848448?cxt=HHwWgMDSifaaoNAsAAAA
It’s happening again, as the HS2 cuts across the countryside ……

This begs the question of why do we humans care so much about what happens to our remains when we pass from this life? And why do we fuss about having our burial place marked? We’ve taken a lot of trouble about it, for a long time…..

And here’s a poem by the man himself….
My Spirit Will Not Haunt The Mound
My spirit will not haunt the mound
Above my breast,
But travel, memory-possessed,
To where my tremulous being found
Life largest, best.
My phantom-footed shape will go
When nightfall grays
Hither and thither along the ways
I and another used to know
In backward days.
And there you’ll find me, if a jot
You still should care
For me, and for my curious air;
If otherwise, then I shall not,
For you, be there.
Thomas Hardy
