One of my favourite geological features are rocks within rocks like the one in the picture. For me they beautifully encapsulate passage of time at scale that is not comprehensible by human beings.
This boulder is at least 200 million years old and yet it contains other rocks that must have formed before it. So, the cumulative time encapsulated by this simple boulder is much greater than what already is vast antiquity.
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
