The fatal trunk split on a prominent, unusually shaped tree on the parkway side of Jamaica Pond continues to spread, but the tree is trying so hard to hold on - its branches, seemingly rising from the pond itself, are now sprouting in green.

Inside that notebook, a theological war has broken out, alongside some sort of math work:

trees are wildly resilient.
my 90+ neighbor had a large tree fall in his front yard a few years ago. missed the house, no damage there, but it was only connected to the stump by a small section of wood fibers (maybe 5% of the tree's circumference).
the tree continued to sprout leaves for 2 years before it finally died for good last summer.
