A Nourishing End

A tree dies in the forest. Its bark feeds fungi, its hollows house a family, and a shrew sustains them. Somewhere in Washington State, a tree is cut down, and eventually it becomes the art before you. 

​

Though they all had a regrettable death, at least they had A Nourishing End.

Kingfisher   

From a tree above the creek, Kingfisher hunts. Diving again and again, up and down, up and down. The motions form a spiral, and the spiral forms a life.

Resting Place

From the pond outside my window, I hear the frogs sing. Their chorus summons life, and tells us it is Spring.

Mozasu Foraging

We live in different priorities, perspectives, and tasks, but our neighborhood is the same. I flow through my days, and they flow through theirs. We watch the neighborhood, with different vantage points, seeing the same place, differently

​​

One day I find myself watching them, and I notice they are watching me

​​

I must wonder: how long have they noticed me and how much do they know? What else do I not notice and how much do I not know?

Finding a Secret

The bark acts as a curtain, pulled aside by a mischevious hand, to peer upon a once-secret. Like a surprise under a blanket of ferns, slug has already discovered what we now see: a cluster of fairy mushrooms growing from a bed of forget-me-not flowers.

 

May we never forget the pleasure of pulling aside a curtain in nature to find a beetle under a long-setttled stone, a ripe, red berry past the first layer the leaves, an empty snail shell in the brush. May we always revel in discoveries our younger selves would find spectacular.
