We are not grand because we are at the top of the food chain or because we can alter our environment - the environment will outlast us with its unfathomable forces and unyielding powers.

The greater the discouragements of the journey, the keener I was to press on and embrace my new life.

What had given the illusion of closeness that evening was only our regret for the past, our sadness that the world doesn’t stand still.
