The Chain You were once very much part of your mother’s body. The same is true for your mother and her mother and so on back to the beginning. It’s a biological chain that stretches back to the first living cell awakening in a young ocean millions of years before the first spoken name. We are links in that chain. Can you feel its weight? A clear path back to ancient waters. You are here. In modernity. As familiar as thirst. Just remember what else you are. Your mother. Her mother. The ancient seas beneath a thin, new sky.
