A Timothy Morton concept. Gratitude at an ecological scale. It’s the overwhelming thankfulness for the entire “mesh”——the sunlight, the plants, the ancient organisms, the people you’ll never meet——all of which conspire to make your existence possible.

You cannot fully know the destination, but you can build the first span of the bridge. Inspired by Callard, is about the courage of constructive action——laying the first plank, trusting that your future, wiser self will know how to continue.
