(((Beth))) the power of the pen & the magic of art as an agency for change, am reading “The Hour of Land” by Terry Tempest Williams, a clarion call to nurture and protect the wild places of our beautiful broken world, to quote
“To be situated in place is to be engaged in a reciprocity where survival, both physical and spiritual, depends on our understanding of gestures. I believe necessity drives us to improvisation where improbable and sustaining gestures create moments of grace that take care of us. We continue to evolve and transform who we are in relationship to where we are. We do not live in isolation from the physical world around us. Nature beckons our response. It is in the doing, the being, the becoming that meaning is made. What becomes sacred is the act itself — not what remains. Something inexplicable is set into motion.
…
Our fate, like the fate of all species, is determined by chance, by circumstance, and by grace.”
