"When one tugs at a single thing in nature; he finds it attached to the rest of the world."
John Muir
For me, today was a day to remember that the earth is "neither a toilet nor your mother". How we treat the earth matters. We should not abuse it, and we should not worship it. It doesn't belong to humans, but it also isn't greater than humans.
Muir's insights into the complexity of nature, the challenges of research and understanding...and all of this complexity reflects the majesty of the earth's Creator.
