A Darker Wilderness Quotes

“I’ve been finding the supports and community to nourish it … And it is starting to germinate … A new beginning … It’s coming … We are who we’ve been waiting for.”

“Here’s what I know: we are undeniable because we are part of a larger story of place and time; because the “before” and “after” always has us in between; because we are dust to dust; because to know a thing is to love a thing, and we love deeply; and because all of our stories are in relationship—I am because you are. Upright and resolute. And the land remembers, even if we do not. For as the earth breathes, so do we. Because this is our home.”
