    "Lost" [by David Wagoner]
    Lost
    Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
    Are not lost. Wherever 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 Wagoner
    (1999)

    Now THIS is a collaboration I would never have expected to see 🤯 What an amazing pairing.
    I've loved Terence for many years, was introduced to David 2 or 3 years ago. Never would have expected they had met at some point in the past.
    Feeling so blessed to watch and listen to these two great minds hashing it out.

    Have you ever seen a tree knocked over, its roots in the air, but because dirt still clings to the roots, it has sprouted leaves in the spring? When I first saw that, it changed my entire perception of what it means to be a plant. Their life force is so infinitely strong.

    The technician " needed just the sound of the water, "but ironically the noise of the cars was stronger, as to demonstrate that technocracy besieged nature for bad. The few seconds of Terence s voice fitted perfectly to water so smoothly bubb!ling. What an angel, this Terence was❤

    What dissolves in all of this is the destitude of democracy and the testimonial trechery of delving into the dispersion of tranquillity beneath the canopy of conceptualisation and the contrary belief system that medicology upholds in a transitial transparency of melancholy...

    We should continue our technological evolution in space near earth so it doesn’t effect our dome of life and how we exist, we can’t evolve fast enough to outpace it but if we did our mining and everything even construction of things and allowed a nice downsizing of certain things to make them green zones for the sake ecological needs, so we can keep existing and making babies and going further into space ourselves. Would take a transfer of time but it can be done if we are all together and respect one another’s space.

    Strange, I watched this footage of Terrence and David twice, and the second time another person comes into view and walks towards the camera. But I could not recall seeing this person the first time I watched it. I'm almost certain I would have remembered seeing a person come into view, but strangely I don't.
