Excerpts
"I believe it has come to pass that even with our great intelligence and schools of thought about so many other things, we as a culture have lost touch with the set of instructions that bring balance to our actions: a sense of how much is enough, a feeling of reverence for all life, and basic knowledge of how to live on Earth." ~from the article, "The Earth Within"
"It is an exciting time for Arizona, one filled with great potential to rework our plan for human habitation. How do we balance quality of life with quality of environment? How do we develop a way of life that is in sync with the natural communities that make this land such a fabulous place to live and work?" ~from the article "Midsummers' Night Dreams"
"More and more the Museum staff felt the responsbility of assuming more leadership by spurring people on to conserve the desert's land, water, and species. Their mission to foster love, appreciation, and understanding was the way of the Museum. But was it enough? It seemed their efforts went against the strong currents of American life." ~from the Chapter, "Across the Tucson Mountains" in Threshold, a novel about climate change in the southwest.
