October


I experienced awe and wonder at this world we live in. How incredible existence is. The probability of our being here, of having survived as a species in this tiny spec of a planet. I was gripped with a desire to keep going – to experience more of this thing we call existence. It dawned on me how precious life is (Bradley, 2023). But “how do we make Earth a credible base if the land has already been appropriated and reterritorialized by those who are carving it among themselves into so many juxtaposed nations with no common ideal other than the war of each against all?” (Latour, 2023).

"She paused, and ran some sentences through her head, almost hearing herself (...). But she only let the words echo through her head, bouncing around inside her body, some softly vibrating on the tip of her tongue. They remained unsaid." Nick Bradley (2023).
