    Strange, that at the edge of this immensity, the world had become very small, the fog obscuring all but the middle distance.

    They remind me to remember that there are mysteries for which a measuring tape has no meaning, questions and answers that have no place in the truth about rocks and mosses.

    There is an ancient conversation going on between mosses and rocks, poetry to be sure. About light and shadow and the drift of continents.

    Even the changes make familiar patterns, like the marks of waves on the sand, the way the lake can go from flat calm to three-foot rollers, the way the aspen leaves sound hours before a rain, the way the texture of the evening clouds foretells the next day’s winds. I find strength and comfort in this physical intimacy with the land, a sense of knowing the names of the rocks and knowing my place in the world.

    What are the conditions that foster diverse communities rather than isolated individuals? The question is very complex for mosses, let alone for humans.
