My theory: the faces in landscapes
are a kind of residue of the people who have passed by
in rock terms that could mean a whole human lifetime
passed in one spot
as nothing is separate, what's before you is noticing you too
so.. when one loves a certain area, it thrives on our attention...
that theory doesn't quite work in these places, there was
apparently a 500 year drought
in what is now known as the usa southwest -
too bad that humans don't seem able to think
in extended time frames..
