It was the cacophony of sound and density of
forest that struck me when I first visited this east-coast region. The area is rich with a micro-biome that is both sustaining and dangerous. There is flora and fauna that offer such beauty it makes the knees
quiver upon discovering a ‘red in tooth and claw’ under-carriage. The vivid
purple hyacinth, otherworldly, part plant, part animal, ushers in the spring
season blasting its song-lines through the verdant landscape with dramatic
fervor. I cannot help but feel respect for the seemingly ordered chaos
accompanying this strange phenomenon.
Amongst the many delights of living in such a
diverse environment is the knowledge of the ever-changing visual, be it hourly
or seasonal. It is always moving, giving one the sense of being part of a
massive thing. During late
summer, the heat of the day gives way to a cooler evening. Tree frogs, lunar moths and other visitors
take center stage to carry out duties with intensity. The moment embodies all that is past,
present, future and to tell the tale is one of time travel.
