I know mountains because I have stood on precipices and breathed.
I know prairie
because I have lain on my back and been absorbed by the sky.
I know the ocean
because I have immersed myself in it and felt the pull of its current. If I want to know
life, I need to experience its wonder and breathe it in with every breath.
If I want to know possibility,
I need to see its immensity and allow it to absorb me. If I want to know
faith, I need to surrender to it and feel it pulling me in its unseen
direction.
