    I can’t remember a time when I didn't know what the word “couillon” (pronounced “coo-yon”) meant. It was programmed into my Cajun DNA in the same way that my tolerance for cayenne pepper was, or my ability to peel a crawfish tail. I heard the word early, around the same time other words just embedded themselves in my brain without explanation, like “lagniappe,” “pirogue,” or “cher.” Words that weren’t taught so much as absorbed, like steam off a boiling pot.

Facing an uncertain future for themselves, Mother Trees pass their life force to their offspring to help them prepare for changes ahead.

    As the artist Robin Whitfield slowly paddles through a dense wetland in Grenada, Mississippi, she glides past ancient cypress trees rising out of the smooth water, and the sunlight appears dappled on her kayak. A dragonfly lights upon her sketchpad, and she stops to observe its delicate wings. Around her, a pair of butterflies flitter, dipping and soaring before flying away. Birdsong fills the air, along with an occasionally croaking frog.
