"An intimate relationship with the landscape is a fundamental defense against loneliness. If you're intimate with a place and you establish an ethical conversation with it, the implication that follows is this: the place knows you're there. It feels you. You will not be forgotten, cut off, abandoned. Out of such intimacy may come a sense of belonging, a sense of not being isolated in the universe."
