Oh, this is genius! Yes, I remember being enthralled when an artist friend told me about Pando, the largest and oldest living thing here on Earth. And so beautiful!
What you've written here is a great extended metaphor, Shanley. Thank you!
This is the best article I have read in many years. I see the younger generation coming forward and looking to the future but seeing some offshoots wanting to destroy the root system. But the next generation who will inherit this ingenious plan, built by Mother Nature, want to preserve this wonder for future generations to see and enjoy. They see this generation now wanting to destroy their future by killing off and silencing the young roots that are emerging. Using the analogy and history of the trees is perfect. Thank you for your amazing insight.

Don’t really appreciate the sideways swipe at boomers. Just another version of the blame game.
This brilliant! thanks!
This is deeply wonderful writing, and your analogy is PERFECT.
