  6. Some days I think I planted that seed and watched it grow into the lovely tree that it is. Those are the crawl across the floor days and I would have taken a picture of the planting but they didn’t have cameras back then. I drew it on the wall of a cave but I don’t remember where exactly, it was, after all, a long time ago. :)

  14. I was wondering about the name, “earth porn.” I guess a way to get “down and dirty” is to look at natural wonders. I should be able to accomplish this, even if the other way of “down and dirty” may be questionable at times (ha ha) …
    So much easier and uplifting to gaze upon this magnificent tree.
