We are all related, woven together in webs of reciprocal connection, where what happens to one happens to all. - Robin Wall Kimmerer

With words at your disposal, you can see more clearly. Finding the words is another step in learning to see.

Maybe there is no such thing as time; there are only moments, each with its own story.

Instead I just stand there, tears running down my cheeks in nameless emotion that tastes of joy and of grief. Joy for the being of the shimmering world and grief for what we have lost. The grasses remember the nights they were consumed by fire, lighting the way back with a conflagration of love between species. Who today even knows what that means? I drop to my knees in the grass and I can hear the sadness, as if the land itself was crying for its people: Come home. Come home.
There are often other walkers here. I suppose that’s what it means when they put down the camera and stand on the headland, straining to hear above the wind with that wistful look, the gaze out to sea. They look like they’re trying to remember what it would be like to love the world.
