When we enter the landscape to learn something, we are obligated, I think, to pay attention rather than constantly to pose questions. To approach the land as we would a person, by opening an intelligent conversation. And to stay in one place, to make of that one, long observation a fully dilated experience.

Imagine a set of people all living in the same building. Half of them think it is a hotel, the other half think it is a prison.

So that what seems the ugly doctrine is one that comforts and strengthens you in the end.
