Terry Tempest Williams Quote
Enormous cumulus clouds float above the plateau in the shape of turtles. Always turtles. The are moving so slowly, almost imperceptibly, makes me dizzy. The ground is stable, but the sky is in motion. When do we have the time in our lives to notice things so fully? I remember when Steve first learned of his diagnosis, we stood in the corner of his library and he said, Something had to give. I was working too hard, moving too fast. I was right there with him, understanding both personally and precisely what he meant. Why must we wait for the body to speak before we hear what we really need?
