are you asking Robert Mondavi or N!xau ?
I also feel the connection with the natural world, but I think much of it comes from not having our concrete shelters all around us. When you're standing out in the middle of nowhere, there's shit that can EAT you out there. Gets the blood pumping, you start smelling smells and hearing things and catching movement with the eye. Suddenly things that used to be incidental -- rain, wind, animal behavior, seasons changing -- are now much more important. They govern the world around you, but you never noticed it as much from inside your artificial, climate-controlled environment.
Pfft. I sound like you live in a tent in the Gobi. But still, you're closer to that way of thinking when you're far away from subways and oil refineries.
