Climb the trunk of the Poetree,
A resting place for birds and me.
Come join me here, together be.
From way up high, what might we see?

I went literal, creating a water-themed rhythm track
I had the pleasure of interviewing and chatting with Rob Walker -- author of The Art of Noticing -- for #writeout and that conversation aired last night. We chatted about intentionally noticing the world and using what we see for creativity.

In the form of a poem, story or personal narrative, write about exploring a garden area in the dark of a deep night, where sight is nearly lost (perhaps there are some stars in the sky). Explore how to navigate through touch, smell, taste, and sound—feeling the textures, following the scents, […]

We know that some trees can ‘talk’ (or communicate) to each other through their root systems. What kind of messages might trees send to each other? Make some art or writing to represent this kind of communication.

I remain partial to this Tree Fractal site for making tree art
My wife and I found a new trail to us, and it led us to an overlook with a stunning view of the Connecticut River Valley in Western Massachusetts USA.
