4. Bonsai Eulogies
Manage episode 379574787 series 3514879
Tobin opens by addressing a difficult question: how can nature possibly comfort us when faced with horrors like this past weekend in Israel? And the horrors to come for those in Gaza? He concludes the opening with a recitation of the Hebrew prayer "Eitz Chayim" (The Tree of Life).
He then speaks directly to four bonsai trees that he lost this past summer, with sentiments ranging from gratitude to resentment to longing.
