Sort of a middle size.

How big is it? If you leaned against it, would it feel almost flat because it’s so big? I’ve never seen a real redwood in my life. I wish I could. I had a maple tree that I loved when I was a girl. I used to put up a tent under it and sleep in the tent, and half my library of books usually ended up there.

I mean the whole treeishness is, but you can see and (I imagine) just feel the age and all the time it’s been witness to in all those textures and layers.

The bark is so textured and seemingly interwoven. . It has such an old soul and presence it takes my breath away.
