Daughter Jenny held feelings about New Mexico. Specifically, for the WIND. And although It could be harsh, i continued to love It. I'd thought i would miss Wind here....but i'm not because it has been so present. So really present this winter, the second winter, more than last, my first. Those atmospheric rivers have been driven by Wind, it's been severe. In the forest over there, up and to the far side of Campsite C, 3 extremely large trees have gone down. and it's a forest, so when an extremely big tree goes down, it takes many smaller trees in it's Fall. Up there today, i stood. Just stood, because i couldn't think of anything else to do. I can't think of anything anyone might do next. Do you let them lie?, atop of live trees? Crushing them over? And even if the answer would be no, how is it possible to cut them? remove them? from the place they fell?
the forest floor is very quiet and easy. In one week, moss has covered many things. Completely. Earth would take back those trees, eventually. In many years, they would fall incrementally Down, to be taken INTO Earth. Become Earth. What is our place here?
