What the people are saying about Coming Back to Earth:
The hot air balloon is losing altitude as we’re not around to pull the chain that burns the gas to heat the air. We jumped long ago, parachutes strapped to our backs, plummeting still as you read this. Where will the balloon go, and who’ll be around to clean it up? Never mind, we’re on our way down, we’ll meet the Earth soon enough and find out the news. For now, we fall. Clouds whip. Unexpected rain pelts. The sun arcs as the horizon wobbles, then steadies, then whooshes away from us when we pull the cord to release the chutes. Arms wide, handles pulled taut, we free fall more slowly and look around. Concrete and asphalt veins run rampant, river corridors serpentine from city to city, and a noticeable layer of air pollution engulfs our feet and passes over our bodies like a security scan at an airport. We cough, spit, and continue down, the Earth more beautiful than any photograph or video can capture, more unbelievable than the wildest science fiction. We live here? We were all born here? At this altitude, everything seems impossible. Come back, the Earth seems to speak, this is the only reality there is.

Coming back to earth, swimming up from deep, deep under the ocean, from under sand and cold, returning back to earth. -Lovecloud
Coming back to earth means
getting in touch with nature
coming back from outer space
swimming back to shore
feeling the ground beneath your feet. -Roland
I have been stuck on the moon for twenty years. Don’t ask why. Some astronauts came along. They picked me up and started back. When it came into view a hundred thoughts came into my mind. Big, majestic, colorful, and wonderful. -Liv
Coming back to earth means Denver.
Madness.
Cars race past, honking their horns.
People always seem to be in a hurry, rushing from one place to another. It’s overwhelming. Even at night, the streetlights are on, the noise continues.
But returning to Ned, to the peace, the pine and aspens, the pitch-black nights with nothing to outshine the stars – it’s returning to the earth. -AJ
Coming back to earth means sinking my toes in the early spring grass after a long winter. It means diving into the cold creek after the ice melts. It means putting my book down and going for a walk. It means grounding and connecting to the world around me.
It means coming back to earth. -Paloma
Coming back to earth means lying in the snow till I can’t feel my face.
Coming back to earth means going out on the ice so far that I can’t see the shore.
Coming back to earth means running as fast as I can towards a hill in the dead of night.
Coming back to earth means plunging in the ocean till you turn into one big prune.
Coming back to earth means lying on your back and seeing millions of stars.
Earth means home. -Yoli
Coming back to earth means
re-engaging with our senses
remembering we are animals
appreciating that the earth is our only home
knowing in our bones that everything that sustains us, including the beloved humans among us, depends on the earth for
everything
believing that we will never engineer the same complexity that has organically evolved over the last five billion years
coming home to our simple, marvelously adapted, biological selves. -Erin
