Sedimented Footprints
The sandstone revealed bands of ochre and slate, each layer whispering of vanished floods and shifting winds—a compressed history visible to the touch. Though individual events seemed distinct at first glance, closer inspection showed how one impression bled into another, obscuring any absolute beginning. To trace a specific mark felt futile; instead, recognizing patterns demanded widening the frame across vast stretches of time. The continued accumulation of sediment demonstrated that even consistent action was simply another layer in this unfolding process, supporting—and ultimately reshaping—what came before.
