about
I start with a with a fish but quickly move to mountains and valleys, and eventually get to stars, time and gravity, all as a unique means of exploring our relationship to the natural world.

Fish (c) 2/4/2021 by Michael Bechler
If I were a a fish I'd live in water
If I were a rock I'd never change
if I were a song you might not hear it
if I were a bird I'd fly away.
If I were a star I would shine brightly
illuminate the darkness all around
if I were a mountain I'd be right up there
if I were a valley I'd be down.
Every living thing is all connected
to every other thing in its own way
and if it were saying something to me
would I hear single thing it has to say.
If I were time I'd have forever
if I were gravity I'd have to say
come on in, it's easy to get closer
but really really hard to get away.
If I were a desert I'd have sunlight
if I were a forest I'd have shade.
if I were a tree down by the river
I'd sit and watch it flowing every day.
Every living thing is all connected
to every other thing in its own way
and if it were saying something to me
would I hear single thing it has to say.
If I were time I'd have forever
if I were gravity I'd have to say
come on in, it's easy to get closer
but really really hard to get away.
