Don’t look for whatever just touched your foot. Don’t dive down to find it. That’s the chance it’s waiting for.
Never turn your back to the tide.
Don’t swim on the new moon. The moon’s light is the only thing keeping you safe.
Ignore the sounds of the birds. They will get louder as you ignore them, but if you go to them, they expect something in return.
Only look down to your feet, and never deeper than you need to. The deep shadows are not yours to worry about.
The ocean listens to you, too. She knows things.
Do not remove shells or rocks you find. They carry souls with them, and they will return to the ocean one way or another.
Leave no trace of yourself at the beach. She covers your footprints for a reason.
Do not leave abandoned sand castles. They were not built by children. The animals passing between worlds will not forgive you for the obstructions in their path.
Never move a rock bigger than your hand. Gently shift, but always place exactly as you found it. The creatures underneath know where they belong, and they can find where you belong, too.
this has been on my mind for months. finally got around to making it.

Palazzo Davanzati, Florence, Italy. 14th century.
They drove along the empty road for what seemed like forever Fourty-five miles an hour He sped into her And finally, they danced together The world seemed so silent as he laid there, staring at her like she was a field of flowers Neither of them knew how long they stayed like that, It must’ve been hours The only thing on either of their minds, was whether or not they’d make it out of this alive Or if they wanted to Minutes passed In comes the morning dew, and up comes the sun Counting the seconds; one-million one One-million two The Reaper’s coming, their souls are due Their hands collided, and away they flew Together in death, forever ensues

"My name, Pan... originally it meant rustic. Did you know that? But over time it has come to mean all.
"The spirit of the wild must pass to all of you now. Remake the wild, a little at a time, each in your own corner of the world. You cannot wait for anyone else, even a god, to do that for you."

When i reread pjo in preparation for the chalice (and the movies which i have not watched oop), this scene gave me immense goosebumps... I guess all those years of growth and realisation of how much i care about the environment just made me love this scene so much when i once again discovered it.
I absolutely love the way Rick wove this scene into a YA series which would reach so many young minds. Perhaps the message this little pocket of slow paced plot could be lost amidst all the fast paced battle and stuff (like it did when i first read pjo when i was 13), but i know that there's at least one kid out there who has been impacted by it to make a difference, to remake the wild, a little at a time, in their own corner of the world. And that's just so inspiring for me, an art amateur who seeks to make a difference.
I also screamed at that little detail when Annabeth said "this (Pan's cave) is better than any building", which speaks so much about herself as an architect and how nature can inspire even those who seek to create something man made. And Rachel's presence as a mortal, with her father being a real estate mammoth or smth... All these representations using young kids AAAAAAAAAAAA my heart can't take it-
And so i made the most ambitious ink illustration of my life so far to mark this scene I love so much — almost no references used! (Look I'm still an art baby, this is a massive feat for me heheh)
