now, partner, listen here: in the vast, open ranges where the sky meets the earth, there's a tacit agreement between the land and them that work it, a kind of unspoken understanding, if you will. we don't often disclaim responsibilities nor do we need preexplicative warnings to know our duties; we just sense it, like knowing when a storm's a'brewin. under the conditions we live, every sunrise is a chance to restart, to do better by the earth and by each other, all without a word spoken – it's all tacit, understood in the silence of the dawn.
