I was born and grew up in the countryside of northern Spain near De Santiago de Compostela. My family was extremely religious, and I was constantly afraid of mistakes—everything had to be perfect in obedience. The same was true of relationships with other people. I lived in a very large country house surrounded by landscapes with farm animals. But I didn’t want to follow tradition—I was desperate to go live in the city. At the young age of 18, I went to Switzerland and lived there for fifteen years. Life was quite different, as I lived in only one room so I could afford my rent and food. As time passed, I was caught up in a romance with someone who wanted to get married very quickly for the sake of documents. All these things seemed like suffering because they were strange to me, but they were really apprenticeships. The difficulties of life are for growing and sharing wisely. Mistakes and suffering are the best times to wake up. This was a very good experience for me in understanding how to find peace in life. After living in Switzerland, I spent four years in Barcelona and then moved to London, where I have lived for seventeen years. The time of COVID-19 came my way. It made it difficult for me to show my love for others and stopped my work with a group for the elderly offering emotional therapies. I became very tired at home, thinking what work to do. Ideas came to my mind which told me to write poems for my friends. It began by making stories in poems, small histories of the lives of each of my friends. I had thoughts in my dreams in which I was told to write more poems mostly related to the world and history, as well as emotions that surround human thought. Passing the time, ideas came to my mind to keep writing poems. In my daily life, I take moments to write, and that has inspired me to make a book to share. I can only say that everything ahead is always a new day. It’s only time that leads us to understand that the reality of happiness is united with unhappiness. However, when understanding, difficult things become one with easy things. The exits of difficulties become faster when time does not exist. So the moment of the present is the strength of the roots that grow, so that in infinity they become part of the whole in the learning of life.
A profound meditation on climate change and the Anthropocene and an urgent search for the fossils—industrial, chemical, geological—that humans are leaving behind What will the world look like in ten thousand years—or ten million? What kinds of stories will be told about us? In Footprints: In Search of Future Fossils, the award-winning author David Farrier explores the traces we will leave for the very distant future. Modern civilization has created objects and landscapes with the potential to endure through deep time, whether it is plastic polluting the oceans and nuclear waste sealed within the earth or the 30 million miles of roads spanning the planet. Our carbon could linger in the atmosphere for 100,000 years, and the remains of our cities will still exist millions of years from now as a layer in the rock. These future fossils have the potential to reveal much about how we lived in the twenty-first century. Crossing the boundaries of literature, art, and science, Footprints invites us to think about how we will be remembered in the myths and stories of our distant descendants. Traveling from the Baltic Sea to the Great Barrier Reef, and from an ice-core laboratory in Tasmania to Shanghai, one of the world’s biggest cities, Farrier describes a world that is changing rapidly, with consequences beyond the scope of human understanding. As much a message of hope as a warning, Footprints will not only alter how you think about the future; it will change how you see the world today.
