And the end of all of our exploring

And know the place for the first time."

“The heartbeats I felt in the womb — two heartbeats, at once, my mother’s and my own — are heartbeats of the land. All of life drums and beats, at once, sustaining a rhythm audible only to the spirit. […] like a ruffed grouse on a log, beating, hearts beating — like a bittern in the marsh, beating, hearts beating.” ~ Terry Tempest Williams, Refuge
