"Did you know there's a country with officially designated 'enchanted places'?"

"No," I said.  "Where would that be?  Oz?"

"Iceland."

"Imagine that."

"I'm ignoring your sarcasm.  I think it would be neat if we had that here.
You'd be walking or riding along, and there would be this stone marker
with a brass plate: 'Enchanted Site.  U.S. Department of Interior.'"

"We'd litter it up," I said.

She stared at me, her smile gone.  "Would we?"

I felt bad, as if I had ruined something.

The earth is speaking to us, but we can't hear because of all the racket our
senses are making.  Sometimes we need to erase them, erase our senses.
Then - maybe - the earth will touch us.
The universe will speak.
The stars will whisper.
