The Floor That Measures Time: Growth Rings as Family Calendar

“Count the rings. Count your years.”

The 1973 Marker

A dark ring from the oil crisis. Your birth year. Touch it—feel history.

The 2020 Scar

Smoke from distant wildfires. The year everything paused. The tree inhaled it. Now you walk it.

The Child’s Ring

Mark your daughter’s height on the grain each birthday. By 18, she’ll span 18 rings.

The 2100 Prophecy

Your great-grandchild will count to your final ring—and begin their own.
