“There is available to us, a form of transformation which, each time it is applied, extends and enhances the wholeness of the land, and the act of using this process of transforming puts us in touch with ourselves. This means that it makes the land of the Earth become more and more deeply connected to ourselves. An environment, when made in this way, may even be regarded as a vision of our inner selves.”
