A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so i can save more fishes.

The white fluff is not a fungus but the protective covering of a scale insect, Cryptococcus fagisuga. The sucking insect pierces the beech trees' bark, which allows a fungus to get inside. This invasive complex called beech bark disease was introduced from Europe in the 19th Century and has been moving slowly across North America. There is no known control against the disease for trees in wild areas. Saplings are resistant, but the disease will kill all or most of the beech trees in the forest.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
LE SCALE
Le scale
questi ansanti tabernacoli bianchi
marmi sui quali gli umani
pavimentano l’anima.
Scale fatte d’aria
dove non ruotano i venti.
Scale adorne
che separano i ferrati dai lenti.
Scale in stile gotico, apostolico
che non portano a Dio
né alla sacralità dell’Essere.
Scale intime, abissali
sotto boschi
dove urlano i corvi.
Le scale
questi penosi tabernacoli bianchi
dalle antiche radici di ferro
che non danno colore
non spargono odore
a chi stringe più in alto lo scettro.
