"We can enjoy our humanity with its flashy brains and sexual buzz,
its social cravings and stubborn tantrums, and take ourselves as no more and no less than another being in the Big Watershed. We can accept each other all as barefoot equals sleeping on the same ground. We can give up hoping to be eternal and quit fighting dirt. We can chase off mosquitos and fence our varmints without hating them. No expectations, alert and sufficient, grateful and careful, generous and direct." —Gary Snyder, The Etiquette of Freedom |
