A poem by Pascale Petit called Treesitter started it - led me to explore what someone called Julia Butterfly Hill, experienced and achieved. She lived in a Redwood tree, 200 feet high, for 738 days. The corporations tried to shake her out of that tree, but she was way too powerful for that. That was a revelation for me.

How Pascale Petit was able to impart a little of what Julia experienced using words, so effectively, in verse was another revelation. I had to respond to her.

Pascale's work can be read in the Transcript. My response to her is also there.
