An inspired insight, both in its detail and brevity. I watched a video interview with writer Jim Perrin recently in which he described the move to remove people's physical contact with the land , literally beneath their feet. By turning our attention instead, Perrin said, and focusing it on something vague like 'saving the planet' we are being stopped from having our own personal, lived relationship with a place we know, hopefully, by heart. Like when we ignore individuals and speak only of groups, masses, we all become irresponsible and unmeasured harm ensues.
