In the outstanding book The Solace of Fierce Landscapes the author, Belden Lane, writes about an Englishman in northern India near Tibet who wrote, "We are saved in the end by the things that ignore us." The 'things' he was referring to was the landscape. Lane adds, "By its very act of ignoring him, the landscape invited him out of his frantic quest for self-fulfillment."
