Restoring land without restoring relationship is an empty exercise. It is relationship that will endure and relationship that will sustain the restored land.

I wonder if much that ails our society stems from the fact that we have allowed ourselves to be cut off from that love of, and from, the land. It is medicine for broken land and empty hearts.

To be native to a place we must learn to speak its language.

The land knows you, even when you are lost.
