“Look, look”, I say.
“Open your eyes and then open them again, and then to be sure open them a third time. Now do you see it, do you see what I see? If you must open them four more times, then surely you will know of what I speak.”
“It is true, there are rocks and rivers, melting snow and rising suns and rainbows, all those things to see and more. There are spirits in the wild. Waves crashing, dark clouds and valleys in shadow. There are devils in the wild too. But this is only to see with two sets of eyes opened.”
“All things live and breathe. Even the mountains. Breath moves in and out, unperturbed motions made perpetual. Three.”
“To see what is shown, but then to see what is not shown. To read what is written, but then to read what is not written. Four".”
“To leave, and return again. Five.”
“To be lost, and found. Reborn. Six.”
“To know… . Seven.”
“To be Truth, Light, the Good, and the Beautiful. Eight.”
‘Yes’, I replied. ‘I see, I see, I see, and four more times I decreed, I See!”

“Is there any reason why Tasmania should not be more beautiful on the day we leave it, than on the day we came?… If we can revise our attitudes towards the land under our feet; if we can accept a role of steward and depart from the role of the conqueror, if we can accept that [hu]man and nature are inseparable parts of the unified whole, then Tasmania can be a shining beacon in a dull, uniform and largely artificial world.”

sacrificed many beautiful things to achieve
your great cities and the domination of your wildernesses. To build so great a mechanism
you must have smothered many growing things”.
