ENCHANTED
Maybe its that you referred to coding, coupled with forest,
a code forest that I imagined was a group of interconnected
root systems somewhere in cyber space that reached out to
take the hand of the fellow flora, and how this reliance
on some under-earth connection helped the trees grow higher
and then they get to extend their branches heavenward
and provide shelter from storms with a canopy of leaves so
dense and whole that no pain could get through. But, in
a computer language, with numbers, and algorithms,
you tried to explain this to me, but the whoosh over my head
was audible, but i swore i heard it in a movie. Maybe it's
still like that, some version of it, and you are out there
planting little trees, and making the timid little tree sprout
up and jut out, and there's all these little trees with family now
because of the connections you created in the computer-brains
synapses. Maybe you are a miracle worker, painting with
statistics, and mathematics, one bio-medical necessity at a time,
or maybe youre just a graduate student attempting to do your
work, and get through till the next project, and hoping you're
appreciated. Maybe that's what it is, but in some symbolic
ethereal place, I think you're making magic. And that,
that is enchantment.
