"The land itself seemed alive with a spirit of its own and that of our ancestors. And in reality I feel that is how it actually is. Certainly we must bring to our heritage and history a rationale and scientific process to glean more knowledge and make connections and widen our perspective. But it must not be a reductionism for then we amputate a part of our very being for folklore and myth and legend are but expressions of a history in epic and mysterious forms of a people and its land."
