Finale :(
I realize that this is my last time by my tree, my sit-spot, and it has been a place where I’ve been able to debrief. More importantly, it’s the perfect place to remember that we need to always take care of nature, as it is the reason why we are alive. It becomes so easy […]
#7
In my sit-spot, which is located in a tropical climate that does not drastically change, my tree has remained the same. The summer has ended, and there isn’t much rain, so the soil has dried up a bit. Other than that, it seems like the natural environment is extremely stable. I feel almost as if […]

The root of it all
Roots have always been an enigma since I grew my first plant. I wondered how they went from thin strings to thick wood. As I imagine my feet becoming roots as deep as the tree beside me, I think about studying the interconnectedness of trees in a forest. I know my roots would touch others. […]
Gatinhos in Brazil #2
As I find myself in a place foreign to me, I ponder the many versions of me that could have existed. My sit spot in front of the tangled tree is home to a black cat whose meow is high-pitched and scratchy. I find it silly that, more than likely, this cat is more fluent […]
