Wood

Wood is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants.

It has been used for thousands of years for both fuel and as a construction material. It is an organic material, a natural composite of cellulose fibers (which are strong in tension) embedded in a matrix of lignin which resists compression. Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees, or it is defined more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere such as in the roots of trees or shrubs. In a living tree it performs a support function, enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up by themselves. It also conveys water and nutrients between the leaves, other growing tissues, and the roots. Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, or wood chips or fiber.

The Earth contains about 434 billion cubic meters of growing stock forest, 47% of which is commercial. As an abundant, carbon-neutral renewable resource, woody materials have been of intense interest as a source of renewable energy. In 1991, approximately 3.5 cubic kilometers of wood were harvested. Dominant uses were for furniture and building construction.

    Wood (Wu Xing)

    Wood (Chinese: 木; pinyin: mù), sometimes translated as Tree, is the growing of the matter, or the matter's growing stage. Wood is the first phase of Wu Xing. Wood is yang in character. It stands for springtime, the east, the planet Jupiter, the color green, wind, and the Azure Dragon (Qing Long) in Four Symbols.

    The Wu Xing are chiefly an ancient mnemonic device for systems with 5 stages; hence the preferred translation of "tree" over "wood".

    Attributes

    In Chinese Taoist thought, Wood attributes are considered to be strength and flexibility, as with bamboo. It is also associated with qualities of warmth, generosity, co-operation and idealism. The Wood person will be expansive, outgoing and socially conscious. The wood element is one that seeks ways to grow and expand. Wood heralds the beginning of life, springtime and buds, sensuality and fecundity. Wood needs moisture to thrive.

    In Chinese medicine, wood is associated with negative feelings of anger, positive feelings of patience, and altruism.

    Wood

    by: Second Person

    You try to multiply your speed by time to get your distance
    But you don't see the wood for the trees
    An experiment with existence
    Is showing up anomalies
    You see the day dissolve into the morrow
    And the slow growing of your second skin
    Adrenaline begins in the marrow
    And then intoxicates your oxygen
    Count one to a hundred and then you are ready to go
    What do you know
    What do you say
    We have an acid chemistry today
    What do you get
    What do you like
    We have a savage energy tonight
    I'm not the light outside of the window
    I'm not a damsel in distress
    I'm not the gold at the end of the rainbow
    And I am not a lost princess
    Are you my love, my landlord, my lawyer
    Are you the one I build my world around
    Or are we wrapped in black paranoia
    Ready to attack and take each other down
    Exactly like Alice in Wonderland now when we grow
    What do you know
    What do you say
    We have an acid chemistry today
    What do you get
    What do you like
    We have a savage energy tonight
    What do you say
    We have an acid chemistry today
    Oh my dear it's dark in the dungeon
    This is where the demons dwell
    A sign says beware of the dragon
    You don't attend it very well
    Who was it who said that it's better the devil you know
    Ain't it so
    What do you say
    We have an acid chemistry today
    What do you get
    What do you like
    We have a savage energy tonight
    What do you say
