we just saw one of their ships yesterday
Yes, I saw it last night right after sunset, rounding Kaloli Point and headed south. The passengers probably witnessed the lava flow as the sky turned dark, no doubt a spectacular view from the ship with a million stars overhead.
It was much quieter than the helicopters too.
I alternate between thinking of the planet as home — dear and familiar stone hearth and garden — and as a hard land of exile in which we are all sojourners. Today I favor the latter view. The word “sojourner”... invokes a nomadic people’s sense of vagrancy, a praying people’s knowledge of estrangement, a thinking people’s intuition of sharp loss: “For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.” - Annie Dillard
