Folding

(excerpt from published essay with link below)

“The earth folds upon itself. Water folds around the earth folding. Oceans, folding back on themselves, shape sands into spectacular patterns. Water collects in folds of sand. My arm hinges at various points to shield my eyes from the sun as I scan the horizon, where the land seems to flatten but actually curves. (An endless, gentle fold.) Only when I see the sun touching the horizon do I feel the earth rotating. It seems to be rotating toward me, but I am also moving…and the sun.”
