the universe's smallest commitment to becoming a forest someday
means A small, thin shoot or branch growing off a larger stem of a tree or shrub.
from From Old English 'twig,' the same word essentially unchanged for over a thousand years, with relatives across the Germanic family — Dutch 'twijg' and German 'Zweig.' It traces to a root meaning 'two' or 'fork,' the same source as 'twin' and 'between': a twig is, at heart, a place where one branch splits into two. (The slang sense 'to twig,' meaning to suddenly understand, is a separate creature, possibly from Irish 'tuig,' to comprehend.)
