The
joy we feel while out in wild country has epistemological value! That
is, joy is not merely a subjective emotion, but is instead a way of
knowing! Elation is a kind of "dance" - like that of a Sufi whirling
dervish - that spins together such contrasts as Nature and Humanity,
Non-personal and Personal, or Sacred and Ordinary, into an energetic
Unity. Alternately, we might think of Joy as a kind of heat that melts
the contrasts together into One!
