Words From Barry Lopez

Today, an older essay, "The Naturalist" by Barry Lopez, here:

It ends with the following words:

"Pay attention to the mystery. Apprentice to the best apprentices. Rediscover in nature your own biology. Write and speak with appreciation for all you have been gifted. Recognize that a politics with no biology, or a politics without field biology, or a political platform in which human biological requirements form but one plank, is a vision of the gates of Hell."
