Siobhan Ring

Siobhan Ring writes non-fiction and lyric essays. She lives in Seattle, Washington, with her wife and son. In her other life, she's a consultant helping race and social justice organizations make the world better.

Reckoning

A tree fell across the road that leads down to the lake. There was no wind, just days and days of rain. The soil loosened its grip. The tree’s roots stretched to the sky behind yellow caution tape and a Seattle Parks Department truck with flashing lights.
We are, at the moment the tree gave up, 22.5 months into a pandemic, significantly too far into a climate crisis and leaning over the precipice of our democracy.
