When I thrive, you thrive. When Ifalter, you falter. Or worse. But I've been here for eons. I have fedspecies greater than you. And I have starved species greaterthan you. My oceans. My soil. My flowing 3 . My forests. They all can take you or leaveyou. How you choose to live each day, whether you regard ordisregard me, doesn't really matter to me. One way or the other.

I am their wordswhen they have none. I say“I love you, ”without a sound. “I'm sorry,” without a voice. I 9 inspire the greatest of them. Painters,poets, pattern makers. I've been a muse to them all.
