"To be Called Beloved by the Earth"
"This kind of experience, when it first occurs, can be considerably unsettling. The normal human markers are lost, everything we thought we knew about ourselves becomes irrelevant. Cultural definitions, the particular view of the world that we have accepted from Western science, historical markers, family stories, our personal biography....all the things that we use at a level deeper than conscious awareness to orient ourselves in space and time are gone."
