Block: the energy of solidity. Even when a block is split from a bulk, or a protruding ridge of land, it retains both bulk and blockiness. That’s how unified it is. It is one of the energies our ancestors learned from the trees and their bulging boles, and passed on to us.

A Block in the Similkameen River
