The closer we got to that wild and uncontaminated nature, the more I was able to understand its deep sacredness. A surreal place, I hadn’t even set foot on dry land and I already felt somehow that I had dreamed or lived that moment before.

Mount Athos
But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you; 8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you. 9 Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this, 10 in whose Hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind
(Job 12, 7-10)
