“That night in our tent, Justin told me how, ten thousand years ago, human beings were migrant—we were like the birds.

Happy here, I began to fear our next destination, hectic Manhattan—a surreal flip to witnessing ten thousand people a day. In these deep thickets, we walked a path that was streamlined, simple and clear.”
