There is a giant tree outside my window in Brooklyn. I often work from home, so for three years I've watched it cycle through the seasons. This video is about the cycles of nature and my own rhythms. It's about the things I do to extend my time on this earth and my attempt to connect with the natural world. Because I originally created the short as a video response to another video blogger's piece, it's also about connecting to others using video.
