"The Athenians were very clear that inspiration comes from the world, and not inside the person. When we unexpectedly come upon a great rock formation or elder tree, we feel the presence of something alive and strong and old. Something outside the human. And for a moment we are held in the feeling of that presence. But at the same time, we are beheld. Very quickly there is an intake of breath, that inspiration. We breathe them into us, and they breathe us into them. This is not a river. This does not travel in only one direction. They need us, just as we need them. We are all in this together. We are not alone here." ~Stephen Harrod Buhner, Earth Grief
