Why Do You Drive? II

They ask: 
"Why do you drive, when you could fly?"
I answer: 



To absorb the variety of landscapes.



To feel the ocean waves.



To experience the weather.


To walk the woods and fields.



To hike the trails.



To observe the plants, trees, and birds.

To learn and discover.
To hold it and be held by it.
To seek intimacy with the land.
