There's a reason I have you
In pieces stored away
A box of importance
Made all the more sacred by the presence of you within it
Am I following through on my promise?
...
I make this post now as a reminder to myself to share the story I have about the biggest, and oldest Douglas fir tree I have ever seen.
I have small pieces of its bark in a wooden box sitting on a shrine in my room.
With the bark's harvest also came a promise. Not just to share this story about them but to share my other stories and knowledge about building a reciprocal relationship with my local environment.
