read this quote today in the article 'Indigenous Communities’ Resistance to Corporate Mining in the Philippines' (Simbulan, 2016) and i'm really stunned by it. really made me think about our relationship with earth and how we view it as something that inherently belongs to us, when it is a lot more than we will ever be

🌍we are mortal. i think there's immense value in being unattached to mortal considerations and liberation from suffering, but this world is so easy to be attached to. there's poetry that's yet to be written, fresh fruit that's still seeds. let me go through dark days so that poetic words can come to mind. let me hunger a bit so the fruit tastes sweet.

🌎here’s are some of my favourite quotes from media that align in my mind
‘But loving someone, and being loved means so much to me. We always make fun of it and stuff. But isn’t everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?’ from before sunrise is so true but i also think that so much of what we do in our lives is to be seen or really heard
‘First we only want to be seen, but once we’re seen, that’s not enough anymore. After that, we want to be remembered.’
from one of my favourite books station eleven and i also really agree cause humans want to be remembered so badly, from the things they create like art to the work they do for others, whether that’s a selfish goal to want to be remembered for what you do for others rather than doing it out of desire to help other people i don’t know but it’s interesting
‘And anyway, we're talkin' about niceness. Not what's his name. My mammy, she was nice. I remember her. And my daddy, he was nice. I remember him. And my sister, she's nice. I'll remember her. Forever I'll remember her.’
this whole interaction from the banshees of inisherin is amazing and so beautiful. i can understand both sides i guess but niceness really is so important!!! after this Colm counters Pádraic by asking him who else will remember his sister‘s and his niceness but it doesnt matter so much WHO remembers your niceness because that memory and the mark you make yourself through it will be remembered through your impact on the world
the earth will remember our ’niceness’ to one another and the beauty of the things we create like art and music and the things that are made for others to see and hear us, whether it physically lasts or even in the memories of other people, the world will remember your impact.
