So funny i am half German half Russian via my father's side married an Irish man now i play the whistle and my son is here back in Ireland being half Irish quarter German and quarter Russian and i stood on my local bog walk just 2 days ago touching a tree like him , a worry tree, that had a wooden carved hand on it saying : Put your hand here and leave your worries behind. I always imagine i give my grief and worry to the tree at that point. Very odd i should find this video and these comments here now 😮greetings and love to Russia i just paid the ransom (import tax) at the gate for another Russian made whistle today lol . My husband was so happy to be back after one generation abroad he died last year and we fell in love on first sight .

I've not heard of The Invisible Tree before, so thank you for the description. Mankind can be so frustratingly obtuse about our connection to and need for nature. This is beautiful!

[@тито-к9в]

it's not all mankind!! there are millions of Indigenous peoples around the world who know and love our kin and are fighting to protect our mother (not that every Indigenous person needs to be a land defender, nor every nation's practice "sustainable,", just existing amidst imperialism is hard enough...). our ancestors all knew at one point or another how to truly Live with the land where we were, truly knowing each individual relative around us in spectacular detail and with intimacy, that has simply been forgotten by a great many at this point.

[@EmnM2010]

This is now on my bucket list. Both to do, and realize in my own city before the last of its wild spaces are bulldozed and developed. I've watched Charleston, SC (one of the most Scotch-Irish places on the eastern seaboard) gentrify faster than I can blink in the last 10 years, and all I know is that something has to be done, but I've never been sure where to start without going to jail. :/ This kind of proud defiance is exactly the inspiration I needed. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

[@rarerostrevor8145]

Thanks for your visit and comment Martin. People like Liam, yourself and the countless visitors from around the world who have all come to see or touch "The Invisible Tree" are helping to protect it and other trees by drawing attention to the uncomfortable truth that there are professional tree consultants who are prepared 'not to see', or deny the existence of, any part of nature that may stand in the way of the profits of those who have hired them for their special 'consultancy' methods.

[@guidofanzini]

Grand singing or whatever, but I could not help noticing a minor issue with the invisible tree, I could see it quite clearly in this video, I mean FFS it has a big sign on it saying “the invisible tree” and you can quite clearly see that this sign is nailed to a tree. Now maybe I’m just nit picking but I could have sworn that the one quality that one would want in an invisible tree is that it not be visible.

[@rarerostrevor8145]

Thanks for your visit and comment, Den. Some say that the sign is there in order to protect a certain tree consultant from walking into the tree! The back story here is that the professional tree expert in question inadvertently gave the tree international visibility by choosing not to see it when compiling a tree survey in support of a proposed development adjacent to it some years ago. Thanks to Liam and many other singers and visitors from around the world who have now verified the existence of this majestic old oak - so far, in twenty different languages - "The Invisible Tree" and its reputation continues to grow.

We DONT hate our language....

[@homoordinarius2298]

@@amandadonegan2137 okay, you don't hate your language but you don't speak it. You tell about 800 year occupation, violence and discrimination. If you know it all, why do you not principially prefer your language? Billions people in the world thinks the irish is a some kinde of english. They doesn't know what you have own different langauge. Some tourist can go to Ireland and trip all placеs and may never hear gaeilge. Practical reasons? - No. Laziness? - Yes. Excuses? - Yes. Irish laziness and excuses is killing gaeilge. What should you do? You should up gaeilge gradually and purposefully. And finally gaeilge will be main language in Ireland. I know one estonian who lived in Ireland 10 years and never hear gaeilge. That is shocked me extremly deep.

[@ronaran8420]

It's up to the Irish to make it live or let it die... Discovery or ignorance. The northern Welsh did really well in the defense and revival of their language. I hope the Irish gaelic language will always be there to express the heart and soul and the beauty of Ireland. Love from France
