"People who root themselves in places















are likelier to know and care for those places














than are people who root themselves in ideas.















When we cease to be migrants and become inhabitants,














we might begin to pay enough heed and respect to where we are.





 









By settling in, we have a chance of making a durable home for ourselves,



our fellow creatures,













and our descendants."
