Beneath every step we get, something old stirs.
The World isn't still. Though it may seem relaxed beneath our feet, it is alive with motion — delicate, heavy, and eternal. The bottom shifts gradually in its slumber, rearranging continents like neglected questions, carving valleys with the quiet patience of centuries. Actually the air above people — filled up with breeze, weather, and whispering clouds — is in constant movement, echoing the world below.
We often overlook that people stand on some sort of that remembers.
Beneath our towns and woods rest the remains of different worlds — whole civilizations swallowed by time. The earth supports the bones of animals that roamed before record began, and the stones tell stories in levels of sediment, force, and ash. Each split in a canyon, each ripple in a fossilized Plant, is a word in Earth's language — one we are only starting to translate.
Volcanoes are not just fire — they're memory under pressure.
Mountains aren't just rock — they are historical upheaval produced solid.
Oceans aren't just water — they're history in activity, swirling with forgotten names.
And in the deepest areas of the planet, where number sunlight actually comes, living still thrives — blind fish in black caves, bioluminescent creatures in abyssal trenches, mosses that grow on the bones of the dead. They are reminders that World is not simply a history for the existence — it's an income store, pulsing with mystery.
Also the winds remember. They hold the dirt of deserts across oceans, depositing pieces of one continent onto another. The water that comes on your skin today may have after grown from the forgotten ocean, or passed on the destroys of towns long vanished. The World does not forget — it recycles, repurposes, retells.
However we, its people, shift too fast to notice.
We gentle shoots without viewing the old kinds buried beneath our feet. We construct towers without remembering the sources they stay on. We title the stars, but overlook that the floor beneath people is also sky — squeezed, fallen, reborn. We speak of time as a point, however the World talks in cycles: life, death, decay, renewal.
You will find forests that grow on the bones of other forests.
There are waters that desire of oceans.
You will find cliffs that also reveal with the roar of ancient beasts.
To stay barefoot on a lawn would be to stay in the clear presence of anything much greater than ourselves — a being that has watched ice ages come and move, that's cradled empires and crushed them, that continues to turn in its gradual, unstoppable rhythm. The Earth does not want us. But we've never endured without it.
And therefore, in the event that you hear directly — when the entire world is calm, once the models sleep — you may hear it:
A minimal sound underneath the concrete.
A breath in the wind.
A memory mixing in the stone.
The Planet recalls itself.
The issue is — may we
