chasing the rains, to gorge on ripening fruits.

The tilt of the earth means cold moves to hot and hot to cold,
地球的倾斜意味着冷转热热转冷
means winter gives way to spring just as summer yields to fall.

It means bats fly across a continent seeding forests as they go.
还意味着蝙蝠飞跃大♥陆♥ 为森林播种
The world is connected in 1,000 ways

and all because of one massive whack.

on one of these tiny little droplets

that are just oblivious to this storm going on around them.

is how something so overwhelmingly beautiful could have come from chaos,

violence and collisions.

It's just amazing to think about this fine line, this,
想想这巧妙的尺度
this balance between being here surviving,
这事关能否在这里繁衍生息的平衡
thriving and not.
想想就不可思议
