Poetry fragment…
As our gods exist outside of space and time
The gods of the plants draw breath from beyond their greenness.
As our mentality cannot extend beyond the reaches of the knowable,
within the limiting verity of their greenness,
plants contemplate existence.

In wild places human influence becomes less obvious, but wildness does not preclude the human. Wildness exists within us, and we exist as integral parts of wildness.
