“When we grow up disconnected from wild nature holes are created within us. We forget who we are, lose our way in the world and have very little reverence for the mystery and sacredness of the Earth. The wounds, holes within us, are often temporarily filled with addictions to food, relationships or drugs. These empty places within us have specific shapes that can only successfully be filled by stone, oak, Solomon’s Seal, Skunk Cabbage, Coyote, wild rivers and secret places in the wild.”
— Julie McIntyre, In the Presence of Wilderness
