A crash course in changing the world.
I learnt from a native.... his name is ismail twaisi, of wadi mousa..
This tree is old, he told me, 2000 years old, it never can have termites. It’s like a red ceder tree, goes with the red city and the pink birds. It was the food in winter for the natives, kept them from winter ailments, as they ate its fruit and used it leaves, twigs and wood. It is an antiseptic, treats kidneys, arthritis, & even ch***ra, typoid..etc.The men burnt its twigs for perfumes and aromatherapy. It was said gin and wine were made from its wood – hence the name genevrier. This tree was made to be free and under the sun, it likes to be alone – in open areas, and needs clean air , or die...it has therefore become increasingly rare
The locals are fighting to find funding to restore this tree, and the hovering pink birds above, against the rose-red stones horizon and display this to tourists within the Unesco-heritage protected terrain.
Another ancient miracle portrayed itself in the form of an old mill run by water. it needs renovation to display the ancients skills in harnessing natural resources for energy.
