Ah ah

Yeah

Ah ah

When you were thinking about irreversible damage

When I was thinking about irreversible damage?

In that conversation?

Um

I guess I was I was thinking about parts of myself

I was thinking about dreams I had had

Visions I had for myself for my life um hopes

A belief even in like love and dreams coming true

A belief in in like

I can I can like heal my way out of a place

Even to say I don't feel that way anymore

I think that my understanding of those things

Drastically changed after massive massive loss

And that like with massive major loss

And like the deepest deepest grief

Something just like shatters

Something shattered in me I suppose

And it was like when you get shattered into a million pieces

Like what do you do?

Like what-what can you do when you shatter pieces?

But can they come back together?

And you know I I imagine some of those pieces yeah

Like you can like pick them up

And like build them into something new

But some of those pieces you know are so obliterated

That I think like they're just gone and there's no coming back

And that's like how when you were talking about the grasslands

You know when like you spend time there

You're very aware of how beautiful it is

You know how wild it is

But the more time you spend there

And the more you learn about history of land

You learn more about how completely devastated it's been

Completely destroyed

That will happen

There's been such mass extinction there you know that like

No matter how much we try to restore it or protect it now

It'll never ever go back to where it was ever

It's- it's gone well what it was is gone

But you know when you're standing there

In you know Big Sky Country

It's as wild as wild gets in some of those places you know?

And there is no separation between you and God

You know you're standing in that land

Right

And you see like even despite all the devastation

It's still beautiful it's still wild it's still alive

You were saying

Well you know I

I might have misunderstood the mass devastation

I might I might have been thinking that

You can bring it back to life yes

To see everything

You say to see it as it is

To see it as it is
