Tree hugging: perhaps we should take a poll. ;)
Trees are nice. Moss is splendid.
Give me a gigantic tree skirted in moss and I'm in heaven.
I have very fond memories of forest walks in Germany... stately wide
footed trees with beds of roots emerging from the earth, everything
within a few inches of the earth blanketed in thick, moist moss. Once
I found a tree with moss-lined roots formed such that I was able to
lie within and be cradled by the roots. I spent the rest of my
childhood looking for another tree like that one...
We moved to Texas not long into my search, so I pretty much gave up
the sense of nature as a lush, nurturing blanket to experience nature
as a force to be reckoned with, or perhaps by. There are places on
this earth, I am convinced, that are not intended for human
inhabitation. Texas may well be one of those places.
I learned an appreciation for weather in Texas. Tornadoes, dust
storms, blistering heat of the dry variety, suffocating heat of the
wet variety, rain storms, floods, flash lightning. I also learned an
appreciation for the sort of plants and creatures that thrive in such
a volatile and extreme setting. It is inconceivable to me that some
people will look at scenes of scrubland and declare it "barren"...
I am preparing for a trip to Washington State... and looking forward
to an extended period of time "on land and water". I spend so much
time up in the air... a fact of urban living.

P.S. Jerry, I have begun asking my sick plants what they need.
Surprisingly, as I do whatever pops into my head right after asking
the question, this person with no idea what most of her plants are is
doing fairly well helping them look well again. Yes, it does seem
that these plants are like "my children"... I have had a bit of guilt
about how dependent they are on me, in fact! It seems a bit unfair
that I would throw seeds on soil and that they would sprout and
spread... and then they realize they are bounded by the boundary of
their pot. This calls for bigger pots! More pots than I have room
for! Hehe... whatever will I do when winter comes? I always thought
my mom was nuts about her plants... now look what has become of me!
