“I’ve been fighting to be who I am all my life. What’s the point of being who I am, if I can’t have the person who was worth all the fighting for?”

Nadeau, Michigan

built in 1900

This was an incredibly beautiful nurse stump I found on Alder Ridge at Oxbow Regional Park in Oregon (it's near the flight path for Portland International Airport, hence the plane sounds near the end.) This is likely an old western red cedar (Thuja plicata) stump, hollowed out by decay and hosting a wide variety of mosses, lichens, fungi and other living beings. It was probably a good four feet in diameter at the base, perhaps a little larger, and while large portions of it have long since returned to the soil and the nutrient cycle, this ancient tree continues to feed the forest.
