When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe – John Muir
What Plants Perceive
people have lost their connexion with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air–
‘It is impossible to measure what we see not’
swearing allegiance to the particulars of the world
“You were made and set here to give voice to this, your astonishment‏”
Scarlet he thought the most beautiful of all colours
we are “at precisely that moment in our history when we fear that our very lives may depend upon how well we understand nature and our own responsibilities and limits within it.”
