Nature. Look But Don't Touch!

hogwash!!! before i post where to see David Sobel tell most eloquently how nature builds a naturalist... i'll begin with what has got to be my favorite quote of the summer: ...As John Burroughs once said, “Knowledge without love will not stick. But if love comes first, knowledge is sure to follow.” David Sobel goes on to say: "It’s our responsibility as parents and teachers to make sure that love comes first." i would add...as 'people' it is our responsibility towards one another. funny how love is always in season! now go read David Sobel in the most recent Orion, here.
