Aspens are incredibly profound. We lived in a neighborhood that the developer had developed fast, and used the wrong landscaper. Every house had one single aspen in the parkway - too far for its roots to reach the next tree. And so they died, one by one. Some of the homeowners tried to replace them with another single aspen. Those died too.

I love this essay, Kim! It’s beautiful to think about. “…all my roots are intertwined.”
