two and a half years ago, my friend jess and i were hiking a trail along the coast near ucluelet and when we came across this tree we sat down a couple of feet away from it, enjoyed the sunlight that made its way through the branches and talked for quite a while. we talked about our dreams, our desire to break out of the confined space of everyday life, our shared dislike of the conventions that determine how we are supposed to live our lives and our (unconventional) hopes for the future. i like to think that this tree, magical, as it seemed to us somehow, is the keeper of the wishes it heard that day and that it will magically open up possibilities and new paths that we do not see yet but exist already.
