You and I
and every other human being on earth are part of Nature. Like it or not, our
buildings, roads, billboards, and junkyards are part of
Nature. The smoke from our
factories and the waste from our refineries are
part of Nature. And all the
things we try to do to protect the environment and save
endangered species: These too are part of Nature. But no matter how
kindly we
feel, we will never be able to participate in
healing
the world around us as long as we keep seeing nature as something different from
ourselves.
