>I consider all the land sacred

As I`ve said (somewhere :o) ), to my way of thinking, that statement devalues the meaning of sacred.

You could say that it does the opposite and adds to the meaning of land, but that would mean that the sewage farm next to the land-fill site by the incinerator in front of the chemical factory is a sacred landscape.

FW and purejoy, last night, felt it necessary to point out that they feel wonderment at landscapes, too. I would go further and suggest that we non-religious types are capable of feeling *more* wonder because we have no explanation for what we see before us because to us it`s all come together out of randomness over billions of years.
