The Nature Reunion

A few quotes from biophilia research:

Each new year is a surprise to use.
We find that we had virtually forgotten the note of each bird,
and when we hear it again, it is remembered like a dream,
reminding us of a previous state of existence...
The voice of nature is always encouraging
- Henry David Thoreau

It is not half so important to know as to feel when introducing a young child to the natural world. - Rachel Carson

A child said What is the grass? fetching
it to me with full hands;
How could I answer the child? I do not
know what it is any more than he.
- Walt Whitman

What is the extinction of a condor to a child who has never seen a wren?
- Rober Michael Pyle
