I am less spiritual, but I will enjoy coming back to the South Downs, an area that I know quite well already. We frequently find signs about staff and organisations demanding our respect, but often they show little respect to us.
Excellent piece Ant. This makes me straightaway want to go away and read Richard Jefferies, which is a feather in your hat! I love the idea that as body and mind ascend the hill together ” as one climbs, so the other aspires”. And I’d never come across that jokey saw before – “There has to be more to life than to occupy oneself with its meaning”. Thanks for all of these.
