...Perhaps because of our own bio-physical embodiment, most of us have a tendency to identify and interact with things; most particularly things in their physical, bounded, wholeness. Yet there are many components and processes behind the surface, internally and externally, that are critical and formative of identity. In a forest, leaning back, looking up past the canopy, to the sunshine or rainclouds beyond, gives an inkling. Looking down is more difficult, yet equally critical. In temperate forests, a significant portion of biomass and ecological process exists on/undergound. Yet here, in this wild and teeming darkened landscape, the identification of individuals begins to confound our standard means of conceptualizing entities/identities.
