What's to become of our own seeds and betrothals: all these floss-haired children inside us that want to live? Want to move, stay, eat the soil from under the house, move on. Want to hold fast but cannot hold still. I am lifting them up as newborns to the nursery window looking out on the forests of Antarctica. I tell them: This is your home. Tell them: None of this is yours. Do not believe as I did. When the world breaks open, fall apart with her entrails, fall with the stones or fly. Let the crush of it make you into some new thing not yourself See how these trees take the teat of the world and suckle it, drinking time, knowing it is perfect with or without them. Lacking their religion, you will have to make your own. You are the world that stirs. This is the world that waits. From "Forests of Antarctica" Book jacket.
