Moss: A Love Story

written by Jodi Mardesich Smith

Train Tracts is a traveling literary journal and an experiment in connection. The journal is made up of twelve books, each a collaboration between an artist and a writer. The small edition of books are each unique handmade works of art created by printmakers from around the country (and beyond). The stories are of travel, transformation, and connecting with strangers.


Moss, it turns out, was the first plant to grow on land at least 400 million years ago. Moss evolved from filamentous green algae (which sounds so much more romantic than pond scum). It inched its way onto shores at the edge of lakes and streams, absorbing the moisture it needed to survive directly through its cell walls. It developed structures to collect and retain water from rainstorms, and spread where the wind carried its spores. It eroded rocks, prepared the soil, and paved the way for more complex plants with vascular systems, whose roots could reach deep into the earth for moisture and thus grow taller and live further from bodies of water. And because tiny, humble mosses were the first land plants to photosynthesize, they had an enormous impact on earth’s early atmosphere, taking in carbon and enriching our atmosphere with oxygen. The process of photosynthesis also transforms light and water into energy that feeds every living thing. In short, we owe our existence on our planet in part to moss.
