Recently I learned that a tooth I lost a few years ago, was
an ornament 30 thousand years ago, valued for its luster.

Each foot that lifts from the earth has its own memories.

What if you can't find water to drink, or game to eat?
How will you know when you've reached the end of
our world? How will we know you, or you us, when
we meet again?

 

 

 

Each foot: "We should confront the notion that we are dealing more with palimpsests than with individual slices of time or snapshots of evidence and pattern." M.W. Conkey, “Thinking Strings.” In, Seeing the Knowing, G. Blundell, et.al., eds. Walnut Creek, CA., 2010.
