Meditation: Deep Time

Jun 21

“Let that preciousness sink into your bones. We are all related to that first cell, which means, we are all related to a multitude of organisms that exist today on earth. We were all there at the beginning, and have been ever since.”
- Alexa Firmenich

SYNOPSIS:

This is a meditation I wrote and recorded to plunge us through epochs of cosmic time, through the tremendous evolutionary processes that preceded us, became us, and are us. It grants us invaluable context on the great tales of life whose memories are held in our bones.

This is our origin and lineage. I hope you find yourself nourished and moved by the experience.

(This script is inspired by and takes language from the deep time practices of Joanna Macy and the Deep Time Walk of Stephan Harding and colleagues, along with some of the evolutionary notions explored in Otherlands by John Halliday – to them I am deeply grateful. My script here. Please credit if used or shared)

Art made with… You guessed it. Midjourney.
