“More and more of us live more and more separately from contact with nature. We have come increasingly to forget that our minds are shaped by the bodily experience of being in the world – its spaces, textures, sounds, smells and habits – as well as by genetic traits we inherit and ideologies we absorb. We are literally losing touch, becoming disembodied, more than any previous historical period.”
Robert Macfarlane – Introduction to ‘The Living Mountain’ by Nan Shepherd (Cannongate Books, 2014)
