Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem. I’ve always loved the gingko tree. This one is on our daily walk. Did you know it often has aerial roots? It’s adapted in ways that have helped it survive millions of years. And will probably continue to survive after we are long gone due to climate change.
An awful thought from my husband. “You know those heat domes that have been occurring in different places? Think of a pot of water that is just starting to boil. That’s where we are: the beginning of the boil.” Heat domes pop up here, then there. But if we don’t change our ways, the heat dome will be earth.
Warnings. Will we heed, or will the idiots deny us our chances to survive?
Poetry
Gingko
Its leaves so delicate,
Sheri Edwards
“maidenhair,”
counters its strength
whose lineage
traces back
two hundred ninety million years,
will probably survive
what we may not:
climate change
