“… the topographies of self we carry within us …”

— Robert Macfarlane, The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot (via saint-zissou)

“For deep time is measured in units that humble the human instant: millennia, epochs and aeons, instead of minutes, months and years. Deep time is kept by rock, ice, stalactites, seabed sediments and the drift of tectonic plates. Seen in deep time, things come alive that seemed inert. New responsibilities declare themselves. Ice breathes. Rock has tides. Mountains rise and fall. We live on a restless Earth.”

— Robert Macfarlane, Underland: A Deep Time Journey
