What attracts me to lichens?
Lichens look interesting in a peculiar and spectacular way. There is amazing design potential.
They live in a wide variety of environments, including harsh ones. They are tenacious in an awe-inspiring way.
Even given their hardiness, they are sensitive – the canary in the mine shaft, so to speak. This offers some hefty significance in the search for a bigger purpose, not that obsessions need purpose.
