“What the Indians are saying is that they are recognizing the right of wilderness to be wilderness. Wilderness is not an extension of human need or of human justification. It is itself and it is inviolate, itself. This does not mean that, therefore, we become separated from it, because we don't. We stay connected if, once in our lives, we learn exactly what that connection is between our heart, our womb, our mind, and wilderness. And when each of us has her wilderness within her, we can be together in a balanced kind of way. The forever, we have that within us.” IfsWayNeedsMindHumansHeartKindMeanDoeTogetherNatureForeverOur LivesLandConnectionsConnectedWildernessBalancedJustificationExtensionsRecognizingWombHuman Needs Book:Off the Reservation: Reflections on Boundary-busting Border-crossing Loose Canons Source: Off the Reservation: Reflections on Boundary-busting Border-crossing Loose Canons
