“Rewilding is restoring whole relationships.”
“When we begin to recover ways of seeing the Earth as sacred, as recovering the numinous in Nature, of an imminent and wildly-present God — when we being to reconnect to that reality, then our posture shifts from this “I, it” way of relating to an “I, Thou” with a capital T, we see and interact with the Holy in every step we take.”
