"The places I have connected with most are the ones that I have approached as if they were people: with humility, reciprocity, and patience. From the crows and the crosswalks, to the ponds and the passageways, I observe, listen, and question.

But in my experience, the most important part is the act of returning, which allows a place to unfold in all of its beauty and contradiction. When you return, you are in relation to a place; you give to each other and you are changed by each other as a result."
