55555 - Dendrochronology

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

If Leonardo da Vinci
is the first who studied profoundly
the ring formation of trees
it’s because he loved the trees of the Forest
and he wanted to see how much memory they obtained
and how the rings changed
depending upon the seasons,
as a result he perceived
that the wood for the paintings
had to be selected
from the north side
so as to be subject to the smallest
contractions and expansions.
In this manner the paintings
could cross through the eons
and that was the case regarding those
which the Lady showed us through pictures.
We told her
that we will take care of them as well
because they constitute
the great memory of the Forest
which continues to help
Humanity.
