The woods are full of dead and dying trees, yet needed for their beauty to complete the beauty of the living....
John Muir
At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.
Albert Camus
Dead trees aren’t failures — they are full ecosystems in progress.
What looks finished to us becomes shelter, food, and safe cover for wildlife.
