Ecology became a way of life and a daily practice for us, although that did not stop us from feeling that what was needed was a completely different civilisation.

You were, and always had been, richer than I was. You’d blossomed and grown in every dimension. You were at one with your life; whereas I’d always been in a hurry to move on to the next task, as though our life would only really begin later.
