@lukeadamhawker @WoodlandTrust Very inspiring and rings true.
My 2 year old daughter and I also had a moment of connection with a willow tree in our local park, under its cool shades this weekend.
I must start sketching again.

Twitter -No other tool has connected me to the world, to random bits of news, knowledge, absurdist humor, activism, & expertise, & to scores of real personal interactions.
I’d be lying if I said I won’t feel some amorphous sense of loss if it fades away.

[ARCHIVED NASA Exoplanets @NASAExoplanets]

From the calcium in our bones to the iron in our blood, we really are made from starstuff. It's even in our DNA – carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus were all forged in ancient stars and distributed throughout the universe to become planets, puppies and you!

The power of pigment. This whole article rings true for me. If Jason sent me some ink I would treasure it and use it to full effect. 'Goldenrod' alone conjures up all sorts of incredible images.

The awe of magic and the spirit/matter entwinement of alchemy and the solid evidence of history and the relentless question/experiment/result rigour of science. It’s not a metaphor for anything – it’s the materiality that matters.

Today I visited the grave of C19 poet John Clare. Inside the church stood a poster board affixed w/paras & pics on his life & works; included was this poem he wrote, of the churchyard in which he now rests. Hauntingly evocative—threads of joy & sadness brilliantly woven together.

We are still learning about trees, but evidence is strong that they affect how humans function. Stress is reduced, we heal better, we learn better, when our immediate environment includes trees. There are even studies that show trees reduce crime and road speed ...

"One of the pleasantest things in the world is going a journey; but I like to do it myself. I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me. I am then never less alone than when alone." 
~ William Hazlitt, 'On Going A Journey'

People around the world recorded the sounds of their forests so you could tune into a random forest one Tuesday afternoon. Tree radio! Forests whispering, clacking, soughing and hooting at you from all over the world! https://t.co/05bs0BBIEO
