Great Bluestem
From Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane
Yuvan laughs. "Yes! And [Thomas] Berry coined the word "inscendence", as you are surely aware, meaning "to enter deep within",' he says. 'Where "transcendence" is the impulse to rise above the world and its cares - the weight of the body, say, or the burden of mortality - "inscendence" is the impulse to climb into it, to fathom its depths and delve towards its core.' p 153
Earlier, Macfarlane quotes Berry as saying that "the universe should be considered a communion of subjects not a collection of objects," which to me emphasizes something similar to the Martin Buber "I-Thou" distinction. p152
