Hemlock. Mapping Connections.

Western Hemlock tree branches have flat needles with two sides to them. Growing green on top, hiding silver underneath, two sides to a coin. When all her needles die and fall off, you can see the paths that held their attachments. Sweet little connections. Delicate. Almost connections. Parallel paths, crossovers, diverging, curving away, reaching towards. Nature is constantly changing, growing this way and that way, dying, birthing. Don't be afraid of shedding attachments. Look how pretty the remaining map is.
