Climbing up one blade and then the next.
And the next.
Progressing inch by inch from one side of the park to the other.
When was the last time you looked at morning dew and thought as sunlight sparkled and danced, that the drops looked like shimmering diamonds?
These are moments so often lost to childhood, these tiny, seemingly insignificant fragments forgotten as time moves on.
But five thousand year old Methuselah can tell you how the sun feels on every day of the year.
He can tell you how the raindrops fell, how they run from his branches and drip from his leaves, and how the dampness makes him shimmer and shine.
He can tell you of the insects that climb across his bark, of the squirrels who have stayed in his branches, of the way the grass looks when covered in frost, and how there is the slightest, softest crunch as a pine marten walks through.
He can know the bird from the feel of its wings beating in the air above.
He can know the time as the sun reaches from one side of the sky to the other.
He knows the stories of a million stars, has seen them shoot and fall across the sky, knows how the moon waxes and wanes.
Always disappearing.
But always coming back.

They would have known where and when the salmon would leap and how to harvest the rice that grew by the waters.
They would reach for the berries that were safe.
How to light fires to clear the land, how to guide animals from one place to another as the resources thin.
All these things those humans know are forgotten by all but a handful of
All of those things that tie us to the earth is
To the world.
