“I like that saying of Thoreau’s that “in wildness is the preservation of the world.””
Ken Kesey (1935–2001) novelist
Settlers on this continent from the beginning have been seeking that wilderness and its wildness.

The things were owned by all the same people and all of the roads went in the same direction forever. When we got here there was a sense of possibility and new direction, and it had to do with wildness.

When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.”
