There is fact and there is mystery.

Lately the techno-political pacing of this world gives me the sensation that the mystery of the planet is under chronic assault. I want to witness it, shield it.

Perhaps that assault just cements the sparkling presence and therapeutic importance of biological and human mystery. The invisible strings, the inexplicable. The messages between fungi, the opinionated movements of rivers, conceptual art, exchanges with whales, our wide-ranging connections to place.
