"We don't see all there is to see": fundamental insight of Socrates, and of the Platonic tradition.

Re Wilderness: "Religion" might be defined as the conviction that the reality defined by our senses, our experiences, our physical needs and desires, our relationship to our society, our mundane and conventional interpretation of all that, is incomplete, inadequate, confining, moribund; that in fact there is more to reality than that, a greater and impenetrating reality that promises health, life, liberation; and that this greater reality deserves to be explored and cultivated. Like "Sabbath," "Wilderness" is a concept that refers to the occasion for making that greater reality's acquaintance.
