My first post of the week looked at how separation from the Earth doesn’t just lead to us harming the planet, but causes us to lose touch with something deep within ourselves. This video, which is less than two minutes long, speaks to our need for wildness. It takes as its inspiration the famous Henry David Thoreau quote: “In wildness is the preservation of the world.”
