«where does the idea of Earth come from? where do we get the idea of water? why do we have a word for it? these things were conceived in the beginning, before the dawning, these were ideas, water and Earth, we can only have ideas of things that have already been conceived in Aluna. before the dawning, before there was anything, we were conceived in the water of Aluna. so were the trees, the mountains, everything.» —Alan Ereira / BBC / The Lost City

"That additive and subtractive topography-forming

processes are so commensurate is one of Earth’s

extraordinary attributes. The landscape of other rocky

planets and moons look alien precisely because these

worlds lack such a balance in the rates of creative and

destructive topographic agents.[…]

However, life itself can alter the processes that shape

topography: there is strong evidence that colonisation of 

land by plants in early Silurian time slowed global erosion 

rates and led to the emergence of rivers with well-defined

channels. (It has taken humans only a few centuries to

reverse that trend; by some estimates, modern erosion

rates—accelerated by deforestation, agriculture, desertification,

and urbanisation—are orders of magnitude higher than

geologic averages.)" —MARCIA BJORNERUD / TIMEFULLNESS

the island / dream island & the birds

 

"Ham notes unusual birds that stop by for a short

visit as autumn approaches - sandpipers, an

invasion of coal-black starlings, a crow or two,

a large bird that might almost have been an eagle,

a small owl. It’s important to keep track of the

wind direction, temperature and sea level, plus

the restful cycle of the vegetation with respect

to birth and death, especially the irrational plants

that can disappear totally one summer only to

take complete possession of the beach meadow

the following year. And Ham writes a lot about

the rowan."

 

 

 

"Sometimes I felt like unrequited love - everything

exaggerated. I had the feeling that this immoderately

pampered and badly treated island was a living thing

that didn’t like us, or felt sorry for us, depending on

the way we behave, or just because."
