Description
A secluded woodland sanctuary in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York.
Digitally hand-painted from a personal photo.
In preserving Wilderness we are essentially preserving an endangered experience, and an endangered idea � the idea that self-willed landscape has value and should exist. Wilderness offers the opportunity to experience a relationship between humans and nature that is increasingly rare in our modern world, a relationship in which humans do not dominate, manipulate, or control nature but instead immerse ourselves as a member in the larger community of life.
What makes this possible is the authenticity of Wilderness. This authenticity offers us a window into a world other than the world humans have constructed and now dominate. It is the authenticity of Wilderness that gives it deep meaning, imbuing it with immense intrinsic value as part of the ancient fabric of the earth. --- TinaMarie Ekker
