On a dark wooded pathway, a glass jar in the leaves. A warm smell of colitas rising up through the air. Looking a little closer at this curious bell, started thinking to myself, this could be composting or this could be bug catching. Maybe fill it with dirt? And earthworms to observe? A tiny, tiny ecosystem that we call friends? Voices echo ‘round the forest floor, and they say…. Welcome to the Worm Hotel California. Such a lovely place, such a lovely vase. Plenty of room at our little hotel California. Relax… you can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave.
