"If you find yourself half naked and barefoot in the frosty grass, hearing, again, the earth’s great sonorous moan that says you are the air of the now and gone, that says all you love will turn into peace"
Simplified meaning
Imagine standing outside on a cold morning, barely dressed, and feeling the icy ground under your feet. You become very aware of the present moment and how everything around you is connected. The sound of the wind seems almost like the earth is speaking, reminding you that you are a part of this big world, both its history and its present. This experience can help you understand that everything you care about, all your worries, will eventually find calmness. It’s like when people face difficulties and, over time, those problems become less painful and more peaceful. By being present and accepting the full experience of life, you can find a deeper sense of calm and understanding.
