Wilderness has been characterized as barren and unproductive:
little can be grown in its sand and rock.
But the crops of wilderness have always been its spiritual values,
silence and solitude, a sense of awe and gratitude,
able to be harvested by any traveler who visits.

When we begin to consider Nature as something to be robbed greedily
like an unguarded treasure, or used as an enemy, we put ourselves
in thought outside of Nature of which we are inescapably a part.

Be it storm and flood, hail and fire or the yielding furrow and
the fruitful plain, and alliance it is and that alliance is
a cornerstone of our true humanity.
