i love the trees.
they talk to me.
they calm me.
they keep me breathing...
and yet i am a woodworker.
war disgusts me.
i support the troops.
i am a pacifist.
i had an A10 pilot tell me once,
"i kill people for a living."
so i built him a shadowbox when he retired.
he displayed all his honors.
he was proud of it.
i put my best into it.
it was beautiful,
and it was made of wood,
and i paid him to kill.
