I only joined your newsletter in the late summer I think, so I have missed your earlier posts. But I'm going to go through them these next few months, as St. Brigid's Day has passed and a new cycle has begun :) I love that phrase "the architecture of the forest". It immediately reminded me of a poem I read a couple of day ago by Barbara Crooker called Praise Song. She writes about "the architecture of trees".
Oh! What a gorgeous poem! Thank you, Conny! I love to experience the forest as a huge, high-ceilinged building. Like a cathedral or a library with a glass roof-- in all seasons, but especially winter when the "pillars" (hub trees) are easy to see.
The architecture of cathedrals was inspired by forests with tall trees. They were trying to re-create that same feeling of walking in a forest, that transcendental atmosphere.
