Nature

I know of no subject more elevating, more amazing, more eloquent to  artist and poet and to philosophical reflection than the works of nature. Where else can we meet such variety, such beauty?  It is a gift that most do not appreciate or protect. Nature and wildlife are taken for granted and treated with indifference. We carelessly destroy them for our own ends. Because of our apathy we have placed our planet in grave danger and  because of our damnable egos and territorialism we can't even come to an agreement on how to save it. Every day more species become extinct. God save us from ourselves. We do not know how.
