The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science more than soil has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting provided you live within it.

Every age can be enchanting provided you live within it.
