| Introduction | I have had a reverence for nature since I was a small child playing on the beach. Watching the crabs scurry away to hiding when I turn over a rock. Hearing the gulls crying. Feeling the water lapping over my toes, and the sun lapping over my mostly bare skin. I enjoy philosophical questions about the meaning of life, but I am not troubled by them. Life doesn't need a purpose because LIFE IS ITS OWN PURPOSE. No doubt this is a philosophically naive position that has been raised by many other people before. Fine, then, at least some other people get it - hopefully they also get with it a reverence for all living and growing things and the non-living environment that sustains us. As for me, I am the son of a fisherman, born on the beach. The ocean is the brother of my blood. And I have learned to love my brothers and sisters of the sand, dirt, forest and mountains just as much. |
