Oh...wow, Adrian, this is exquisite in its ache. I'm so sorry for your loss of these arboreal ancestors. I feel it in the soft pulp of my own woody heart. And I relate so deeply to the funk of the precariousness of fascism, the climate, the grief wrapped around it all. Your poetry, prose and the photos are all a balm. And I thrilled at your choice of "stippling." What a great word. Thank you. Sending you spaciousness on the August winds. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ’š

Truly, a stunning collection of prose, poetry, and photos. While I weep for the trees, as I do for the ones here cut for no reason but to make room for machines that gouge the earth for ever bigger mansions lived in for at most two months of the year, I'm sustained by your vision.

Thank you so much for your comment, Anca! So heartbreaking that the trees around you are cut down for capitalist greed. They deserve so much betterโ€ฆ But so pleased if thereโ€™s any solace in my words or perspective!
