Into the Light

Vincent rises in the stratosphere, over night-cities, on a line of zodiacal light - last astronaut of the Rex Hares.

Don't be afraid of dying. Nothing enters the world and nothing leaves it. There are spider-strings connecting us to everyone we're ever loved. If you watch an animal or bird, in the hours and days after its death, you will see how it dries like a leaf, how Country takes it back into her own body, like a mother. We are living through a bizarre time in human history, a time of insecurity and loss, when the world seems dangerous. But if you watch, you can see all of nature's currents and patterns are still unfolding, like syllables in an older language. Country is still speaking to us. Nothing is lost.
