"Our practices ask only this: go meet the season. We pray through pilgrimage, to snow line, to snow geese; to surreal sakura and thousand-year-old cedars; to salmonberries and salmon streams. This is how I learned to love the land, the seasons, the world. I hope, through these practices, our children come to love them too."
~Adam Amir, "Seasoning a Kid"
