…We diet on water, On crumbs of shadow, Bland-mannered, asking Little or nothing. So many of us! So many of us!

The sky seems ever so close with arms reaching out as if they have touched the edge of the stratosphere. The tallest tree standing is over 74 metres. The tallest known to have lived around 90. I feel so small but so close to an ancient life that has so […]
