Whatever happens on Tuesday, I want to be ready to ground myself in reverence, in awe for all that is still beautiful in the world, in gratitude. I wrote this to help me. Maybe it will help you, too. open.substack.com/pub/scientif...

“She’s surrounded by thousands of sleeping seeds, all waiting for their DNA to awaken and begin remaking air into wood at the slightest hint of thaw and water. The seeds are humming, they're singing something, she'd swear it, just below ear shot.” – The Overstory

5yo: who was my grandma’s grandma’s grandma’s [x30] grandma’s grandma?

me: oh wow I don’t know. You had a lot of them. Who were they? What did they like?

5yo: they liked colors. And shaking their butts.
