The wilderness, this is where we grow, becoming our own orchard

Imagine all the tiny beings that may reside inside these slowly disintegrating walls of wood. Imagine the support it gave to others when it was strong and high. Imagine it will eventually turn to dust and somehow begin life anew. Love this photo! Um..poor Kentucky farmer.

There is such power in both your photo and haiku… growing up as a farmer’s daughter, I know this desire in my bones. Nature sometimes has other plans than that of us humans… I saw an article today that there are plans in the works to create a tropical rainforest beneath a dome in Dubai…

  I guess the moral of the Dubai story is: With oil money, you can do anything!

That is a terrible thought. I can’t tell you much I fear a desert climate like that.
