My log store was recently filled up … I find it such a friendly thing to look at, just like looking at a bookcase … the logs are essentially books in their raw form … the material manuscript representation of literature!

The beauty of a forest, trees in abundance, all communicating through their root system in their unique language … providing refuge, shelter, protection, sustenance, shade, wonder, restorative healing to many a soul … then if felled, that timber in turn can provide shelter, heat, creativity, furniture, instruments, tools, ornamentation, paper … books … people use their skills and gifts to transform what was a tree into a book and a bookcase to hold them.

It’s reassuring and comforting to soak in the environment of a forest; to appreciate a log pile and to sit next to a bookcase full of books!
