No thought of ownership

I love this hopeful passage from Barry Lopez's introduction to Maps of Reconciliation:  Literature and the Ethical Imagination, the latest issue of the beautiful journal Manoa:

"Someone will have to make an outline, draw a map and pass it around, with a pencil and an eraser and no thought of ownership.  The voices of individual authorship and the duly elected will need to give way to the repositories of community wisdom.  For the first time in centuries, wisdom will need to be seated beside intelligence, a second light to cut the deep and unknowable dark."
