Ok... this is a long read. It is very meandering but it is starting to encompass many of the things that I walk with when i am walking on the land. It's taken me a few days to tease it out, writing in breaks and pauses. I am trying to build language around something deeply sensory and explain it all at once. I think I will take it down even further, but at least this part is out.

"For the sake of this thought exercise I am going ask you to pretend you are in a perfectly dark room. I don’t mean a nighttime room with starlight, or streetlight coming in. I mean a dark room. Like the kind we used for photography. Or the darkest sealed room in a house – basement with no windows, nothing. There is no light source. But for some reason you know there is another human in the space."
