"I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods." - Wendell Berry
Project 365: #314
I have been trying to train Riley to run with me, and been venturing on little runs/walks in different areas. When no one was around, I let him off lead to see how he would behave. I was a little anxious, as he is just over four months, with an attention space of the equivalent! Anyway, he was so good, did not venture far, and had such fun! What is did do was lead me to this beautiful tree, covered in a vine. I did not look too closely, but the chances are is that this is possibly a parasitic vine, as it had pretty much covered the tree. It did again make me think of the intricate relationships that exist in nature, with different organisms living off others, or sometimes coexisting symbiotically. It also made me think of our mortality, starting from ashes, and ending in ashes...or compost, feeding the neverending cycle!
