Did you know that when a redwood dies and falls in the forest it can take over 500 years for the log to rot? For perspective, that is twice as long as the United States has been a country. There are rotting logs on forest floors that are older than our government.

The moment that we are living through is urgent, but it also has been artificially compressed. It took a long time for us to get to where we are, and it will take a long time to find our way out.
