“A place no human made, a place unmade

By human greed, and to be made again.”

-Wendell Berry, I Go From The Woods

Where is the maker; so patient

With humans, watching the unmaking, and

Clearings, and ruins. The earth is the maker, but not

By design, it simply alters, makes, and

Unmakes over time. Here stood the maker where stands

The unmade, and soon stands the newly

Made maker where clearings once laid.
