“He was sure that he was not the cause of the abrupt silence. His passage through the canyon had not previously disturbed either birds or cicadas. Something was out there. An intruder of which the ordinary forest creatures clearly did not approve. He took a deep breath and held it again, straining to hear the slightest movement in the woods.

“The hostility of this landscape teaches me how to be quiet and unobtrusive, how to find grace among spiders with a poisonous bite. I sat on a lone boulder in the midst of the curlews.

And I have found the birds who require it.” TodayFacesFoundSpaceTeachGreaterGraceAirSkySolitudeQuietDemandBirdSmellLandscapeSettlingSatDryMidstBitesSaltAccustomedSpidersHostilityStressfulLonePoisonousIntrusionBouldersOpen SpacesIntruders Author:Terry Tempest Williams
