“We have at our fingertips .... books by the zillion; CDs and movies and TV by the ton; the Internet; also the opportunity to move around ... But in time the sheer richness of this complexity can sand bag you. You long for simplicity, for the yin to that yang. You yearn --- though you may not openly know it --- to take a respite from your eternal wrestling with the abstract ... you begin, sooner or later, to dream of truly wild places.”
