Just over a month ago, the state of Tennessee murdered Sedley Alley to show that the murder of Suzanne Marie Collins, some twenty years before, had been wrong. The state’s return to executions wounded many of us, as our tax dollars, and our tacit approval (as citizens of Tennessee) made the execution possible.

We came together, sang songs, read prayers, and shared our own experiences and emotions since the event.

Our tree is planted in that same spirit, in the wake of tragedy, recognizing our commitment to the power of love, reconciliation, and life over death.

Albeit the erectile dysfunction itself isn’t necessarily dangerous, erectile malfunction is sometimes one of the early warning symptoms of other underlying health conditions that can be extremely dangerous.
