Redwood. Fire and Feathers.

Redwood trees can live for 2000 years. They can survive fire that other trees cannot. Safety, longevity, wellness, and wisdom. At the end of summer, they shed their oldest leaves closest to their trunk, called exchange of foliage. Exchange the old now, for new later, because apparently you can't have both. A favorable trade.

There is a spider web hiding behind these leaves. I knocked it down three times and put the fourth one on this canvas. Spider knows by instinct how to keep building, unbothered. A web woven in darkness that no one can see, but I know it's there. And the moon knows it's there. The moon saw it all. A sometimes invisible witness. To the fire of it all. Tree feathers floating down. An offering to the next season.
