I, Carson of Occidental, CA, declare that I am bound to more than I know. I hold this to be plain: my watershed, the atmosphere, the supply chains that bring me toothpaste and sheets, my culture, my language, my ancestors, my beloved Amelia, and the ravens roosting in the redwoods. To them I commit presence — daily nature bathing, real talk with true friends, and the devotional rituals that keep me remembering who holds me.
