Yang Zi For Robert Wun

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.

“It feels like a punch. Tears fill my eyes, and I wonder how I could be upset over losing something I never had.”

"Garner the jigsaw of my flesh and build me up piece by piece. Will you have fun while I'm in the making? I will come to life with my arms open and my blood so warm, my cheeks flushed and my skin soft. Will you rest upon me?"
