Look closely,

look at your palm, and at your fingerprints. Look into an eye or two, then look inside the core of a flower. Look at a river… As planetary relatives, our bodies carry traces of each other, and if you look closely, you can see yourself in the other & every living being in every living being. We share a deeply entangled past and an interdependent present, but will we share a future?

By looking at excerpts of various Earthly phenomena, Dagný examines how paying close attention to the structural similarities between humans and our Earth-kin could help us feel closer to the myriad of beings we currently share our planet with, and position ourselves within the vast web of life on Earth.
