OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE - #6

“…Middle grounds are sandbars or mudflats found in the middle of a tidal channel; water flows on either side of them. They characteristically occur near the entrance or exit of a constricted passage… The politician infallibly steers for the metaphoric middle ground, th4e shifting shallows created by current events. Not so the honest sailor.”
- Franklin Burroughs in Home Ground: Language for an American Landscape
