Once, this land was forest.
Now it is fields, houses, roads.
A few trees left here and there.

People ask, should we bring it back?
But time does not go backwards.
Landscape keeps moving, with us, without us.

We say good, we say bad.
But who is the designer?

Maybe the task is not to restore or to regenerate.
But to listen.
To see what is here now.
To allow it to grow.
To ask what we want to grow from this place.
