Yet there is no division between here and there, up and down, fast and slow, hot and cold. These are merely different versions of the same thing. Similarly, there are no divisions between black and white, male and female, Christian and Muslim. These are merely different versions of the same thing.

Islands of forest surrounded by mire that looked so 'whole', old-growth forest with huge pines, lots of dead trees [which give these forests a very different feeling then managed forests!], ...
