Lichens are small but mighty organisms that offer valuable lessons on how to thrive in any environment. Their secret lies in their cooperative nature. A union of fungi, algae, and other microorganisms, lichens demonstrate that working for the common good is useful, necessary, and sustainable. They are long-living and slow-growing, showing us that strength comes through adaptation and patience. They have a profound impact on their surroundings, eroding wood and stone to pave the way for other, more diverse organisms to thrive. 

These agents of change continue to challenge our categories and understandings of what it means to be an individual. May they help you lean into curiosity
