Attention is under siege everywhere. Not silence but uninterrupted noise, not the red desert, but a cognitive space overcharged with nervous incentives to act: this is the alienation of our times.
This is the reason for space.
Space is our right as creatures of the earth, and yet, we live in such crowded cities... with such horrendous noise and pollutions. Is it any wonder people are mad en masse?
I've said it before, and will keep saying it until my consciousness dissipates, every creature needs a perch, not a podium from which to garner attention, or a pulpit from which to preach, but a perch for listening... deep listening.
When you become attuned enough, you will begin to hear space itself. And then, you will be able to relate more closely to your natural fellow animal than to your unnatural fellow man.
Only then will you hear the earth speak within you.
