Why

Part of my personal ecotherapy practice is to live here in Southwestern Washington State, in the Willapa Watershed. Willapa is the Native People’s word for weeping forest, which was — preconquest — a description of the rich and verdant splendor of a unique natural environment that evolved with the cool, rainy climate that characterizes the Pacific Northwest coast. It was once a land where the ancient climax forests softly wept Willapa tears of joy for the beauty bestowed upon the land by gentle rains. Now Willapa tears fall from the weak and ever stunted relatives weeping for the loss of strong and towering ancients, chopped and milled into the houses of a civilization that came, swarming, spreading their farms and cities over the land, leaving little room for the many plants and creatures that once, all together lived upon it, growing, integrating, completing living cycles, with only the added energy of sunlight. The young trees weep as they live out their now relatively brief lives of forty or so years, reduced to crop like stands of scrawny stems, merely harvestable raw material for lumber and paper pulp to keep the farms and cities growing. That's today's Willapa forests.
