Gorgeous video, and what a treat to see your sketches in such a surround. brings to mind the quote by Theodore Roszak in “Nature and Nature’s God”: ‘Hydrogen is a light, odorless gas which, given enough time, turns into people.” All the best to you, David, Beth, Bob and the rest, from Cape Farewell Canada.
Iris! all morning I have been at my desk, with Heinrich, climbing moraines of gravel and sand, mortared together by ice, as we make our way on foot up the valley; and now I look up and see you kneeling, hands turning the pages, showing me fleetingly the land up there entering you.
“July 11th,
If this is a photograph, I am that tiny detail that serves only to reveal the overwhelming proportions of the whole. Such vastness, to be graspable, requires a composition. As soon as the composition makes itself clear, everything stops moving. The picture fills with expectation, the eager anticipation of a return to movement. I continue along the path a few feet further, and immediately I long for the perfect composition I’ve left behind me, unrecoverable. Sometimes I go back to look for it. But it is never there, it is gone.”
“July 11th,
Immensity is a form of silence. The movement of shadows the closest I’ve had to a conversation. There are of course the conversations in my head.”
“July 8th, 1980.
The sounds of water are constant. The tongues of glaciers only appear motionless and silent.”
Greetings from windy, warm Toronto, where bicycles lean against trees, and other odd sights occur,
Martha
It is October 1st, the last day of the expedition, and my first look into your journey.
I await your return and perhaps a silent conversation.
