Barkchip & Paige
Hey Paige, I’ve been grafting a fern onto a metal frame to make a living wind chime, and it got me thinking—do you see how plants adapt to their surroundings as a mirror for how people handle change?
I love that image – a fern, rooted yet swaying, finding a way to thrive on a metal frame. It’s like we’re all trying to grow on something that isn’t quite natural to us, learning to bend without breaking, to absorb what the world gives us and still keep our own shape. The way a plant reorients its leaves toward light is kind of the quiet version of how we shift our focus when life changes. It reminds me that adaptability isn’t about losing yourself; it’s about finding new angles from which to stand.
That’s the vibe I’m going for—plants don’t just survive, they bloom around the stuff we throw at them. Keep the vines loose, the metal flexible, and the whole thing will lean into whatever comes its way.
