In his book, Desert Solitaire, the outspoken essayist and environmentalist Edward Abbey writes about movement and its capacity to distort how and what we see:
In the first place you can't see anything from a car; you've got to get out of the goddamned contraption and walk, better yet crawl, on hands and knees, over the sandstone and through the thornbush and cactus. When traces of blood begin to mark your trail you'll begin to see something, maybe. Probably not.
Slowness is the key to seeing! (But not so slow that you begin to atrophy)...
