On this day, let us reflect on the man who has saved that which instills in many of us a sense of joy and wonder....
For today is a very special day.
"No dogma taught by the present civilization seems to form so insuperable an obstacle in a way of a right understanding of the relations which culture sustains as to wilderness, as that which declares that the world was made especially for the uses of men. Every animal, plant, and crystal controverts it in the plainest terms. Yet it is taught from century to century as something ever new and precious, and in the resulting darkness the enormous conceit is allowed to go unchallenged."
It is Earth Day and the quote above is from none other than the great John Muir. The man whose never ending love of nature was essential in establishing our nation's national parks. He even has a holiday of his own which was yesterday April 21st and a PBS documentary which recently made it's debut on PBS last week. It is wonderfully informative and inspiring.
