Becoming Trees Quotes

“Being a tree, affirmation would feel different. Love would feel different. We would be happiest if our soil was full of microbes chatting. We would be happiest if the soil was rich enough to contain a complex fungal network that would allow us to sort of blur into it and talk to or just sort of be each other.”
― Sam Cohen, Sarahland

“It seemed like everyone was wrapping themselves in chrysali and having late-in-life emergences as different kinds of creatures, and what this made clear was that we weren't becoming anything. We felt like caterpillars who didn't know that being a caterpillar wasn't the endgame. We felt like foamy pond water.”
― Sam Cohen, Sarahland
