Night Notes from the Pasture 🌙
Let’s talk about slime molds on dung.
On an old cow pat, so hardened it felt like a stone in the grass, I found tiny yellow slime molds shining under my lamp. I crouched low, focused on the fragile beauty rising from something so rough and weathered.
So absorbed was I, that I didn’t notice the herd closing in. When I looked up, I was surrounded by cows, their quiet eyes reflecting back at me. I stood, nodded politely, and explained—“There are slime molds here.” Then I left them to their night and returned to the woods.
Even on stone-hard dung, life finds its stage.
