meandering







"the house represents 

what we ourselves 

would like to be on earth:

permanent, rooted, here for eternity.

but a camp represents


the true reality of things:


we're just passing through"

another world







trees

are amazing
and fascinating 


wood, leaves, roots, branches, bark
there is beauty in all of it
in all its different forms


we utilize it so much, 
I forget sometimes how much we rely on it...
how versatile it is


homes, furniture, heat, paper, pencils, climbing, growing
fruit, shade...


I am reading a book about trees

It is called Wildwood, 
A journey through trees, 
By Roger Deakin

He has so many tales of trees
the varieties, their uses, their appearances
he has discovered and knows so much
and still has this brilliant appreciation for every aspect of them

Aside from that 
just his perspective
of nature
from his humble adventures
and his interesting observations
from living
in the forest
are so 
hmmmmmm
I can't think of the word....

exuberant
and
beautiful

anyway I am still reading it 
so must be off


peace out x
