How might you join another? – Poem by Ali Grimshaw

Inosculation, a natural wonder, encapsulates the extraordinary process where parts of two distinct trees, often of the same species but not exclusively, grow together, forming an intimate bond through self-grafting and the sharing of life-sustaining nutrients. This botanical phenomenon, with roots in Latin—ōsculārī, meaning “to kiss”—brings to life a narrative of mutual support, resilience, and interconnectedness in the realm of nature.  from – Nature’s Eternal Embrace: The Extraordinary Bond of Inosculation

togetherness
makes the impossible
look like magic

lean in to believing
reach with both hands
trust in love
