The Many Mosses of Glacier NP

I have always been drawn to moss. I just find it to be an adorable mini world unto itself. On the way to Montana, we listened to the Serial podcast, a project in collaboration with This American Life, called “S Town.” Alex and I both highly recommend it to story listeners. At the end, the character in focus is reflecting back on his life, and says,

“…the best times of my life… I realize were the times I spent in the forest and field. I’ve walked in solitude, beside my own babbling creek, and wondered at the undulations, meanderings, and tiny attles that were occasionally swept into its midst. I have… spent hours entranced by the exquisiteness and delicacy of tiny mosses and molds, entire forests, within a few square inches.”

Here’s the podcast:
