🌲 TREE 235: Thank you

One.

The world is full of possibilities.

Two.

This is the final email of the first year of TREE. It’s been an amazing year, and I want to say thank you.

Thank you
for subscribing,
for reading,
for emailing me back and letting me know when my words have been useful to you,
for commenting,
for sharing TREE with your friends and family.

There are twice as many of you reading as there were a year ago.

I started TREE as just an email. Now it also has a home in the FOREST where there are hints of a community of people helping one another grow slowly.

That community has been most visible in the 40 generous contributions of the TREE guest authors:

• Mark Pierce, musician, producer, designer, photographer (TREE 46–50, email only)

• Katerina Pavlakis, The Intuitive Cook (TREE 81–85, email only)

• Rachel Devine, Photographer and chronicler of life (TREE 111–115)

• Steven Tracy, musician, producer (TREE 131–135)

• Christine Gill, the best person (TREE 156–160)

• Jess Lea-Wilson, designer and curator (TREE 176–180)

• Lyndsay Lucero, founder and bag designer (TREE 201–205)

• Teresa Roberts, artist and too many other things to list (TREE 221–225)

Thank you!

Three.

We started the year with Kilo Kish. Let’s finish it with Kilo Kish.

Something for the weekend

If you like short bursts of writing – and clearly you do, TREE subscriber – check out Patricia Lockwood’s No One is Talking About This. It is one of the strangest and most beautiful novels I have read. I borrowed the ebook from Borrow Box via my local library.

Also, all 236 songs from 235 emails collected in The Memory of TREE – Year One:

I’m off to get ready for year two. I’ll be back in your inbox at 5 AM on 6 September.

Happy weekend
Jeff
