“Whether people need nature or not, it was clear that nature needed people. But perhaps nature needs us like a hostage needs her captors: nature needs us not to annihilate her, not to run her over, not to cover her with cement, not to chop her down.

― Amy Leach, Things That Are

“I am a tiny seashell
that has secretly drifted ashore
and carries the sound of the ocean
surging through its body.”
