In Our Bones We Need The Natural

Time In Nature Is Not Leisure Time; It's An Essential Investment In Our Chidlren's Health (and Also, By The Way, In Our Own).

Now, More Than Ever, We Need Nature As A Balancing Agent.

We Attempt To Remember Our Collective American Childhood, The Way It Was, But What We Often Remember Is A Combination Of Real Past, Pieces Reshaped By Bitterness And Love, And, Of Course, The Video Past--the Portrayals Of Family Life On Such Television Programs As "leave It To Beaver" And "father Knows Best" And All The Rest.

In Our Bones We Need The Natural Curves Of Hills, The Scent Of Chaparral, The Whisper Of Pines, The Possibility Of Wildness.

As A Species, We Are Most Animated When Our Days And Nights On Earth Are Touched By The Natural World. We Can Find Immeasurable Joy In The Birth Of A Child, A Great Work Of Art, Or Falling In Love.
