I love nature, spend a lot of time in the forest. I find it all beautiful. Yet, sometimes, I am struck with disgust as somehow my image of trees swaps. Suddenly I imagine trees like an insidious growth on the surface of the planet. Like when you see fungi growing from a humans skin, I am involuntarily picturing trees through the same lens.

It is breif, but weird. Anyway, this is a really beautiful display, it's branches feel closer to tendrils, and I imagine if the music had picked minor chords predominantly this would be an experience closer to my negative view of trees. Thankfully the power of music prevails.



Imagine that trees sway on their own, rather than the wind moving them.


Perhaps think instead of human skin as a wretched slimy substrate on which poor, determined fungi have to somehow eke an existence.
