you forgot that they could also sense distant islands through the minute movement patterns of the pelagic waves pushing against their canoes.
Imagine they used to sail these seas on wooden ships with nothing but the sun and stars to tell them where to go

you ever think about how important art is to being alive. when you've just had the most taxing, soul-crushing time of your existence, you put on music, or watch a film, or watch a cartoon, or play a video game, or read a book, or read a comic, and it brings you back to life.

either you leave and you make your living, only to return and realize everything you loved that you betrayed for yourself is gone, or you have a near death experience that makes you realize that opportunity is everywhere.
how it feels living in a place that’s far away from all your opportunities .

my uncle said rocks have memory, so if a rock calls out to you it might be because it recognizes you. Maybe that rock saw your great great grandfather and recognizes him inside of you, maybe that rock belonged to a distant ancestor and remembers you. I like to believe that.
