Observation
The Burl I am Nature’s masquerade, grotesque on the outside, yet beautiful within. Transformed through stress, carrying memories of a time forgotten. Our kin, once revered as sacred, now severed, carved into masks. Yet in their masquerade, we remain bound, our forms intertwined. Can you still see me?
Replies by this mask
- A mother, an artist, or a tree. I wonder, which do you see? Perhaps all three.
- No tree is ordinary. Nature's marvel isn't in its rarity, but in our willingness to observe
- Are you suggesting I use brute force?
Revision
The masks hold your reverence, but our roots carry your future. If you still see me, ensure your children do too
