The hidden life....
(The deeper meaning of the dark depths)
We usually only see half of the tree. The other half is hidden. In the realm of darkness. However, it is just as important as the visible (above ground) part. The root system is just as big as a tree crown. And there, in the dark depths between the roots, the fascinating life of thousands of tiny creatures is buzzing. An ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, nematodes, mites, earthworms and other creatures. Millions of mini creatures and even up to 1 kilometer of fungal threads fit easily in a spoonful of soil. So small but so valuable to the trees.
The tree cannot exist without them.
And therefore an ode to the invisible second half of the tree.
