Dear moss lovers, would you like to share what in moss it is that brings you joy?

For me it is many things, its tiny magnificent beaty, its resilience and patience, how they are tiny little eco systems or forests, how they hold water. How they are ancient in their own way.

This patch btw, is in one of the busier streets of Amsterdam, close or in the center, loads of commuters every day. I wonder if any others stop to appreciate the beauty.

I mean, this is stuff this world is producing all the time, everywhere.

this is soooo pretty

@wmd interview with robin wall kimmerer: I can scarcely grasp the deep time of the cosmos, but a deep time that feels very relevant to me is the deep time of life on Earth. And within the plant kingdom, the beings that I have spent most of my career studying are the mosses, the most ancient. They were the first plants to come out on land. Every climate change that has ever happened on this planet, they have experienced. All the shifting of continents they have experienced, and they’re still here. Ninety-nine point nine percent of all beings, all species who ever evolved, are extinct. But as the world has changed, mosses have persisted. That’s deep time success. https://e360.yale.edu/features/robin-kimmerer-interview?s=09

@wmd only a matter of time before someone figures out a way to sell it or burn it *sigh*

@wmd Moos kΓΌhlt Mauern ab und ist Vorreiter fΓΌr anderes

Moss is cooling down walls and is the base for other things alive
