Old Red Cedar
Western red cedar, over 1000 years old, you grew for 200 years and towered over others, silently observing sights in the forest that are no more, your secrets buried within your spirit. The bark covering your tree trunk, said to be about 23 feet around, was hollow when men discovered you. Inside the hollow trunk, a fire somehow began; you cannot tell us when, how, or why, and there is no record of it. The fire caused your death. Slowly, you died, from the inside out. Such a sad loss for an old soul of the forest, with centuries of knowledge in its cells. Houses, watercraft, shingles, bowls, bows and arrows, and paper that men used to write what they knew of your history could have been made from your body, branches, and bark. Truly, fire was a better death for you than a logger’s saw.
