Acclaimed writer Barry Lopez who dedicated a lifetime to exploring the kindred
bond between humans and nature, passed away this year on Christmas Day. The
legacy he leaves behind in his powerful writing has never been more relevant.
"Pay attention to the mystery. Apprentice to the best apprentices. Rediscover in
nature your own biology. Write and speak with appreciation for all you have been
gifted. Recognize that a politics with no biology, or a politics without field
biology, or a political platform in which human biological requirements form but
one plank, is a vision of the gates of Hell."
He shares more in this essay,"The Naturalist."
