Alan Jackson’s Wanted playing while a bunch of us sing and drink along, staring into the flickering of a bonfire. Revelry on high, chilly air. You aren’t next to me but across from me, the fire dances in your eyes. A small sly grin graces your mouth.
Then my eyes open to Monday morning, 6:30. You’re still 500 miles away and the chickens are barking impatiently to be let out. -

“Man has in fact inherited the earth. This vast globe on which he dwells is his, his to develop further, to master and control. Surely, man with his twinkling mind should by now have created for himself a paradise upon this earth.
Has he? Have we? What have we done with our natural heritage?
We have plundered our forests.
We have ripped at our hills and laid them open to erosion.
We have befouled our rivers until even the fish and wildlife have been killed or driven off by the stench and the fumes.
Our roads and passageways are narrow, tight, and dirty, and criss-crossed to form senseless friction points.
We have built our homes, our schools, our factories tight row on dreary row, with little thought for trees, or clean air, or sunlight.
Looking about us with a clear and critical eye we find much to disturb and shock us. Our cluttered highways, sprawling suburbs, and straining cities offend more often than they inspire or please.
Man, the animal, Homo sapiens (the wise one), is a victim of his own planning. He is trapped, body and soul, in the artificial mechanistic environment he has created about himself…
…His own deepest instincts are violated. His basic human desires remain unsatisfied. Divorced from his natural habitat, he has almost forgotten the glow and exuberance of being a healthy animal and feeling fully alive.”
From John Ormsbee Simond’s book, Landscape Architecture
