The Light Always Returns

By Leave a Comment

“The edge of the solstice, the barren darkness, the wheel.
Nature knows
That every cycle must return
to stillness and silence.
That every inhale has an exhale.
That every ending births a beginning.
That the light always returns to a future
beyond imagination”

“The water in your body flowed down the Nile, fell as monsoon rain onto India, and swirled around the Pacific. The carbon in the molecules of your cells was mined from the atmosphere by the plants we eat. The salt in your sweat and tears, the calcium of your bones, and the iron in your blood all eroded out of the rocks of Earth’s crust; and the sulphur of the protein in your hair and muscles was spewed out by volcanoes.”

-Lewis Dartnell,
astrobiologist

Lost

By Leave a Comment

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
are not lost. Where you are is called Here,
and you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
you are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
where you are. You must let it find you.

~David Waggoner
