I think spiritual perception comes from natural and healthy relationship to the land and I’ve had that. I get an easy, automatic sense of myself in nature, a wholeness and I feel nowhere else.

The physical terrain, the feeling, the environment and culture improve my life just by waking up there.” – Val Kilmer
