Elizabeth Watkins - Questions for Lane's Book

I think it would be pretty cool to be able to sit down with Belden Lane and ask some questions about his book. One thing I'd like to know is what about all the people that don't read his book? What about students that never take a course on Sacred Landscapes? Do they know how to identify sacred place? One thing I know is that I would have never equated that sublime feeling of a place with the concept of sacred place. Actually, I probably wouldn't have known what to equate that feeling to. What's sad is that before this class I would have never really sat down and thought about the spiritual and sacredness of a landscape. On page 53 Lane says that "One's actual embodied experience in encountering a place perceived as sacred is crucial, then, to the sense of magic or awe that one finally attributes to it". How many people then actually feel that magic or awe in their lifetime? And is that feeling different for each person or more or less the same? I'd like to know about the people that Lane has encountered who don't care much for nature (not because they dislike it, but because their culture or environment has never really educated them on it). How many people really appreciate that "magic" of a place?
