" The places we call home sometimes need protection from our inexperience and our selfishness. The places we call home are almost always enriched to the extent that they are shared. Is it possible to care for a place without hurting it, through ignorance or arrogance? Is it possible to care for a place with open hands, always ready to give it away like so many fishes and loaves? "
