| * 'beech': symbol of positive future scenarios for planet earth, as it is easily blown over by strong winds -> demographic and ecological situation is very alarming, believing and implementing positive scenarios are not 'quick business' with fast visible results. Can we imagine small side stories that cover the larger tronk, the way the beech is protected by small trees; think of a world with detention of material needs, a tree party in Parliament, trees as conflict solvers (talking sticks in African tradition), because it is grounded (translator in conflict), filter out water, CO2, oxygen | * 'beech': symbol of positive future scenarios for planet earth, as it is easily blown over by strong winds -> demographic and ecological situation is very alarming, believing and implementing positive scenarios are not 'quick business' with fast visible results.

| * 'oak': symbol for strong blast away apocalypse story / Cyprus / world crisis / ; the oak can be representative of capitalist society driven by money, the symbol of patriarchal society because of the way it grows its branches vs lime tree (can we look for a new symbol? the birch maybe?), symbol of Germany. We eat the nuts, use wood for house, for ships (to win wars)... | * 'oak': symbol for strong blast away apocalypse story / Cyprus / world crisis / ; the oak can be representative of capitalist society driven by money, the symbol of patriarchal society because of the way it grows its branches vs lime tree (can we look for a new symbol? the birch maybe?), symbol of Germany.

Counter argument: in the old mythology of Balkan the oak is matriarchal, it allows for very good shadow, you can soak/chew/dry nuts, make coffee, tea, burn the wood, use leaves for clothing... |

We think that we need much, tree with five elements can live 200 till 1000 years, human needs so many things to become 80 years old. The larch is representative of the primitive reproduction system, spore-families, it maintained the same instinct, this is how it works. We went too far of our instincts, we believe the 'smoking cigars & knowing the right people' works, and ignore the knowledge that we still have implanted in us, especially in relation with the nature, f.ex. Cycle of the nature, how it works, gather water, build the house (not very different within aborigonals in Australia & indian communities in South America. And also: the Archer's guild in Brussels has become so rare that it has become very special |
