Liana Pilar for Into the Wild
🕑 Added 2019-04-25 02:31:58 +0000 UTCFor the first time in my adult life I have a hobby other than photography that I devote time to everyday. I wake, I drink coffee, I eat, I check on my plants. Each day I watch for growth, check to see what needs watered, what needs light, what need moved to a larger container. For all of my love of nature, I've understood so little of a plants life. Now as I move through the forest I notice things I've previously missed: the first flowers of a tree pushing out from the nodes, the leaves that follow, how quickly it all grows.
- I'm a steward of this land now. It is the place I create along with others, a place I forage for and grow much of my food. I have so much to learn, and I am excited by each new thing I find. Four months I have been here, and already I feel like the forest is educating me. It is not just a place I visit now, but a place that I live in.
