About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 I have suffered a reduction in mental acuity, so I decided to acquire some basic motor and tactile skills like pushing around cool, gooey paint in mindless, repetitive motions to prepare for that newly vacated space between the ears.
#2 The colors blue and red are the closest in color to the eyes of a goshawk. The colors blue and red are the most profound. They are deep, resonant mysteries with boundless subjectivity.
#3 The human eye is capable of perceiving seven to ten million colors through a synaptic flash. We use our eyes’ refined sense of vision to admire the work of Titian or the Grand Canyon bathed in the copper light of a summer sunset.
#4 The eye spreads light gently in the retina, across blood and long-stemmed nerves that resemble frilled balloons or leggy trees of bladder kelp. The eyes combine senses and affection into a homeland.

The first principle of Place is color. We are extremely sensitive to color from an early age, and it can lead to a profound attachment to landscape.
#9
Each of us has five fundamental, enthralling maps to the natural world: sight, touch, taste, hearing, and smell. As we unravel the threads that connect us to nature, we become less attentive to these guides, numb our sensory intelligence.
