You remember driving through clear-cut forests, you remember the logging trucks up the mountain to your grandmother’s house. You remember the endless procession of logs down the river. As your hands find the next branch, and your feet their next hold, you can’t help but think of this. Getting hungrier, you reach out to grab a fig, but stop yourself, pulling back your hand. You are not quite yet sure when it is your turn to take something.
