🦕☘️ The ginkgo, like the magnolia, is a living fossil.

The perspective from below upwards is not accidental. It always has something to do with wonder. With searching. With longing. Perhaps even with submission.

It is the gaze of the child, the believer, the questioner. It doesn't ask for control. It asks for meaning.

And when this person pauses, they themselves become part of this old system - not as a ruler, but as a listener. Perhaps this also reflects a silent desire to feel roots again.

It could also be an image of hope.
