Wildernesses

Origin is from "Wild Deor" (wild deer) in old English, meaning land inhabited only by wild animals.

First thought is The Wilderness Act of 1964, allowing for the preservation of parcels of wild nature with lines on maps and sets of rules.

But I think also of other wildernesses. Places untrodden, unknown or challenging. Places entered only temporarily, where foreign logics prevail: wildernesses of land, mind, body, death, culture, and cosmos.
