“For the first time in my life, I own land. Not a building or apartment, … land. Unlike the other two which feel more akin to a gopher occupying a different hole, I’m a steward now, solely responsible for how much this land changes or how much it stays the same. Best I could hope is be a benign nuisance to this place. Man’s goal in society is to be remembered. In nature it is to be forgotten, unnoticed, leave as little proof I was here as I possibly can. That will be my gift to this place.” — Preston Clyburn “The Madison” (‘Tomorrow Is Goodbye’ Episode 04)
