"This landscape is our home, and we rarely stray long from it, or endure anywhere else for long before returning. This may seem like a lack of imagination or adventure, but I don’t care. I love this place; for me it is the beginning and the end of everything, and everywhere else feels like nowhere - James Rebanks, A Shepherd’s Life"

I love that quote about the Scottish Highlands from Rebanks book. It reminds me of my feelings for my own home on the coastal plain of NC in the remnants of the great Eastern pine forest.
