“The bogs, rivers, mountains, and shorelines are more than preservers of old myths, bones, and memories. They are energy banks and time sponges, and what is held within them seeks release.” ― Manchán Magan, Listen to the Land Speak: A Journey into the Wisdom of What Lies Beneath Us

'August 2, 1914: Germany has declared war on Russia. Swimming in the afternoon.' Kafka
