mapping the world on the way toward migration

Sort of departing on a new journey. Just finished a book I love more than anything but I'm not putting it "out there" yet.  Soon.  What wonders me now is the idea of how necessary migration is; how it happens all the time for so many lives and how humans have interrupted, damaged and often unknowingly harmed animals, insects, all moving creatures while they migrate.  this is why I'm sharing this quote today - and quietly, i hope, saying, that i hope my new work and the words I'm dreaming now, soon to take form like spring ephemerals, will touch someone and support all who help the cause of our nature.  

an intimacy with the world that the speeds of current transportations eliminate; and yet, you can still be utilitarian. love this quote -

Walking is mapping with your feet.” - Lauren Elkin
