As the current administration continues to gut environmental protection and threaten to privatize public lands for development, mining and drilling WE THE PEOPLE must shout out opposition, RESIST and vote accordingly.

"All of one's life is a beautiful pattern, like any kind of

growth. I have the image in my mind of a plant that eats

light and things invisible to us and, materializing them,

branches forever away from its core, yet is bound to it, and

has its ultimate predictable boundaries invisible, yet where

the growth will go. Always in spasms it blossoms and

leaves in fragile fast-fading forms, then withers back into

itself, with only a tracery, the subliminal skin under the

new bark, of what was."

- Wolves & Honey, A Hidden History of the Natural World,

Susan Brind Morrow, 2004.

Thanks for sharing this amazing quote. I love how she describes the life of a plant and how the stages correspond to our own.
