But what I think it was telling me is that we are this transient thing that's happening, and that the nature that you see out there -- the untouched shorelines, the untouched forest that I was able to see -- really bring in a sense of that geological time, that this has gone on for a long time, and we're experiencing it in a different way.
nem como me estava a influenciar. Mas penso que estava a dizer-me que nós somos uma coisa  passageira, que acontece, e que a Natureza que vemos lá fora — as costas selvagens,  a floresta virgem que eu contemplava — transmitem um sentimento desse tempo geológico, de que aquilo existe há muito tempo e estamos a apreciá-lo de modo diferente.
