When we shift our position, the world reshapes around us. Observing the microseasons—the subtle tilts in light, the almost-imperceptible changes in wind—we begin to see that relationships, too, ebb and flow by position. From the decay of what has been to the birth of what is emerging, every stance we take re-threads us into the whole.

Prairies, pastures, forests, wetlands—each position in the landscape shapes a different network of relationships. Stand in one, and the sounds, scents, and movements belong to that place. Step into another, and reality reconfigures: a new field of life, a new conversation between elements.

By engaging with these rhythms, we begin to see ourselves as part of the same ecology. The inner terrain has its own prairies, its own forests, its own seasons of abundance and rest. We can tend to our inner fields as we would the outer: clearing what has overgrown, nourishing what has wilted, planting seeds in prepared ground, gathering fruits at their peak, composting what no longer serves the life to come.

These cycles are not outside us—they are us. The body, the mind, the shifting climates of thought and feeling. People are climate. Position yourself differently within them, and the weather of your life changes.
