Searching for the stump of the oldest known tree of its time, Prometheus, chopped down for research.

Drive to Great Basin National Park.

There is snow on the ground and it is clear that now is not the time to visit.

There is no one around for miles.

The scenic route to the Peak where Prometheus stands is closed and snow covers the ground. 

Park the car at a campground below and start to walk in the direction of

Prometheus

Walk miles and miles uphill through the snow, 

Through the miles, it becomes clear

It’s not the tree we’re listening to. It’s the whole system.

There is no separation.

Even stumps and fallen trees affect the ecosystem.

It’s the sound of everything in relationship, the entire system. 

Prometheus hasn’t died

It’s a different form of life.
