Entering The Depths
A few days ago I dreamt I was in an antique jeweler’s shop. He didn’t have much, but I spotted one ring. It was large, made up of three thin, white, square pieces (the jeweler told me it was made of bone), joined together on top, and the base of the ring was made of wood. The miniature carving on the front of the white pieces was like one of those old paintings of Jesus. A side pose. A brown-ish halo around his head. I was spell-bound by the carving and how beautiful the ring was. I wore it. It was a perfect fit. It was very expensive for me but I told the jeweler I would come back for it. Even though the ring looked large, bracelet size, when I wore it, it was the perfect fit.

Biologists say that trees are social beings. They can count, learn, and remember. They nurse sick members, warn each other of danger by sending electrical signals across a fungal network and for reasons unknown, keep ancient stumps of long felled companions alive for centuries, by feeding them a sugary solution through their roots.
