“These evening encounters — the gold of sunset blending into moonrise, the gradual appearance of stars — were timed perfectly for theater, of course, when strange stories are a little easier to believe, the line between reality and fantasy a bit harder to discern. At such times magic is in the air, as lighting and staging provide the perfect setting for the eternal yet ever-changing drama of rocks and trees, birds and animals and people, and the mystical ties that bind us all together. At these moments we may feel a part of things that are grander, somehow deeper and more profound than normal everyday concerns. But in truth such moments are always present and always available to us. Anytime, day or night, dusk or dawn, when we stop to look with open eyes and listen with open ears, we can feel a part of the great story. The story of all life on Earth. A story forever told in the theater of the wild.”
