Wilderness holds an original presence giving expression to that which we lack.

"The Colorado Plateau is wild. There is still wilderness here, big wilderness. Wilderness holds an original presence giving expression to that which we lack, the losses we long to recover, the absences we seek to fill   . . ."

"Wilderness revives the memory of unity. Through its protection, we can find faith in our humanity."
