Excited for this long overdue read as part of my Ursula K. Le Guin binge.
An image of the Ursula K le Guin novel “The Word for World is Forest”, which has a cover depicting a stylised forest, a logger in the process of chainsawing a tree, and a variety of obscured green faces hiding among the vegetation.

Recent pics of waterskaters, a relevant page from my beloved copy of Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin, and a quick unpolished piece of writing it all inspired.
A photograph of a water skater sitting on the water surface against the reflected trees above. A photograph of a waterskater sitting on the bottom left upon the water surface. An annotated page of Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin’s, featuring an illustration of 5 waterskaters dancing on a summertime water surface A screenshot of writing: “I am a sailor. You find me on a brown lazy pond. This is my sea. Sea and sky and between them, a thin membranous skin: a line of permeability, ending, beginning. Mingling. Here is my world. The skin is strong but soft; its ripples lend form to winds otherwise shapeless. It holds me, creasing with my tender weight. Watch how I dance along: just here, and here, and now here. Watch how the sea shakes and fractures as I go. I am strong but soft; my ripples lend form to life otherwise shapeless. The other side of the sea is unseen to me, but the tracery of my dance reaches its shores. The surface of the world knows me. It will remember, in every bubble and wave. So you find me - find me pressed here like a flower between the pages of a book, kissed by sea and sky. I am very small. Yet my world, so delicate and thin, is made beautiful by me, just by living.”
