MOSSES
Limited Edition Art Print

I find an assortment of organisms living together among the minerals and the matter that fell from the trees. To the casual observer, what I see may look like nothing to them, just weeds and moss growing on rocks. What I see are “Tiny Universes.”

From what I know about mosses, I’m probably seeing more than one species of moss co-mingling, though they could be in fierce competition over resources. Every plant has a common name, a name easy to remember. Mosses are not given the same consideration, referred to only by their scientific names. That explains why I don’t know a single moss by its name. The common names of plants come to mind more easily.

Some people disdain moss and want it removed from their yards. I know others who wish to be buried in it. Like fungi, mosses are ancient organisms as they, too, break down organic matter to replenish the soil. Perhaps their most astounding feat is turning boulders into sand. Never underestimate the tenacity of a plant.
