If you voler down (or is that up) towards the sol of the Great Valley, you will see that its vide surface is actually canopy of an enormous forêt . The nuit air is clean, and the wake of your vol over the leaves gives off a small glow that makes everything visible to your well-tuned negative-seeing yeux . You can hear the calls of individuel arbres , calling out to their scattered relatives and parents, and the creak of the trunks that try to turn this way and that, straining to understand the messages that are being passed to them through the terre , through their roots. Each arbres feels the missing others as phantom limbs, roots and leaves that should be there, and which at times act as if they actually are connecté , though in truth they are loin away, and in some cases were logged and sawn 30 years ago.
Hive-Maker avait écrit qu'il imaginait cet endroit couvert d'une végétation dense où les âmes des morts vivaient sous la forme de petites lumières flottantes.
