"To conceive of any natural object with a total apprehension, I must for the thousandth time approach it as something totally strange . . . You must be aware that no thing is what you have taken it to be."
Henry David Thoreau
This is precisely what the Yellowstone landscape enables us to do. Its otherworldly aura opens up a fresh faculty of perception that then helps us look at the mundane features of our daily lives in a similar manner.
