  Along whose bed the glimmering stars are seen,

  Where mountain streams have left their channels bare!

• Each place its own mind, its own psyche! Oak, Madrone, Douglas fir, red-tailed hawk, serpentine in the sandstone, a certain scale to the topography, drenching rains in the winters, fog off-shore in the summers, salmon surging up the streams - all these together make up a particular state of mind, a place-specific intelligence shared by all the humans that dwell therein, but also by the coyotes yapping in those valleys, by the bobcats and the ferns and the spiders, by all beings who live and make their way in that zone. Each place its own psyche. Each sky its own blue.

• See with what force yon river's crystal stream
  Resists the weight of many a massy beam.
  To sink the wood the more we vainly toil,
  The higher it rebounds, with swift recoil.
  Yet that the beam would of itself ascend
  No man will rashly venture to contend.
  Thus too the flame has weight, though highly rare,
  Nor mounts but when compelled by heavier air.

  Lucretius
