The meseta taught me listening

Heat and horizon

Key moment: Flatness fooled me into thinking thought would simplify. Instead, memory expanded to fill space. The meseta is a mirror with wind.

I stopped narrating every hour to my phone. Screens felt rude to the sky. Listening widened—larks, distant tractors, my own footsteps like a metronome asking existential questions.
I met a pilgrim who spoke little; we walked an afternoon in parallel silence that felt intimate. Words would have shrunk what heat was teaching.
Water breaks became liturgy. Each sip reminded me dependence on sources outside myself—fountains, strangers, clouds that may or may not rain.

Evenings in villages burst with noise after daytime hush. Contrast felt kind, like life admitting it enjoys variety.

If you fear boredom on flat days, lower your entertainment standards until wonder returns. The meseta listens back.
