We live in landscapes continuously shaped by geologic forces that are built upon memory. Through time, every moment on the land is collected in specks and pieces. Secrets are embedded in layers that build or sink and are made of plant and animal, dust and sunlight, wind and rain. Visual patterns emerge or are buried, like thoughts and memories and dreams that we animals have in our brief moment on earth. Symmetry, meanders, cracks, and other textures appear. They both describe order and are conduits for recollection. Unspoken languages and histories reside in these patterns. We love them for their beauty and we use them for our purposes. We mine and shape these land memories stored as peat, oil, metal and gas. We share collective memories of bright sun on the mountains, reflections in a lake, the sound of rocks tumbling down an incline, or the color of dirt. We see the shapes of this place and we are part of this place, this living and wild landscape. We will return to the dust that becomes the landforms here too. We will be absorbed into the patterns of moments in the land itself. All we are, our experience and our memories from our time forever joining with those of the land, intertwined and building this place we call home, together in a living landscape of memory.
