A Margin of Life

You can't be suspicious of a tree,  or accuse a bird or a squirrel  of subversion or challenge  the ideology of a violet.  Hal Borland  A margin of life  is developed by Nature  for all living things  - including man.  All life forms obey Nature's demands -  except man,  who has found ways of ignoring them.  Eugene M.

Embrace Nature's Beauty

A human being is part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself,  his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion  of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires  and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves  from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.   Albert Einstein Explore This Website
