Sometimes I get anxious to leave my home, which is ironic because I do generally feel more comfortable out in nature. But I always go back to this photo when I need a reminder of feeling brave on a path, during my lone treks in Alaska.

The Atlantic recently published a feature about the loneliness epidemic that many Americans have fallen victim to — by our own doing in many cases.

Bonus capture jumping the queue today because I'm burning with curiosity:

What caused the damage to this tree's bark in this patterned fashion? Was the lower rupture likely made by the same force?

Putting these questions to all the woodspeople, forest folk, ecologists, biologists, botanists, entomologists, and other science hippies in the Fediverse. Please scratch my itch 🙏

(P.S. No, I didn't capture any other images of the tree; and, no, I can't positively ID the tree. I'm terrible with tree ID. An alder? A young...something or other? Sorry 🙇)
