Sometimes the disrespect humans show to this land robs me of sleep. How can you destroy the only thing making your life possible? How can they ignore the beauty all around them? 💔 “One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.”- Aldo Leopold (a sand county almanac)

“...there is one vocation - philosophy - which knows that all men [sic], by what they think about and wish for, in effect wield all tools.” #AldoLeopold It takes me a very long time to make it through a book. I read in 15 minutes snatches of time in the mornings, before having to get on with the responsibilities of living. The pedantic pace of making it through a book often leaves me frustrated. But the way I’m thinking about it is setting me up for that. Caught up in socialized ideals of productivity and consumption, a book becomes an item to swiftly consume, to chalk up the achievement. This turns the whole experience of reading a book into something at which I can succeed or fail at doing. That’s not the experience I want to be having, I have to admit. Instead, I’d rather be viewing a book - especially this one - as a tool to enable me to take an enjoyable walk with Aldo every morning. Each section becomes a different path through the same landscape, light falling on shadows and illuminating new views and understandings. Halfway through the book, he’s taken us through a year on his farm in Wisconsin in 1948-ish, and described the Wisconsin landscape. If that doesn’t sound interesting, it’s because I’m not saying it the way Leopold says it, which is why I just stick to writing Instagram posts. Thank you @lcpaetz for giving me this book, and this daily pedantic meander through the American mid-western landscape and philosophy. It’s genuinely a treasure that belongs on the shelf beside the writings of Thoreau and Muir and Shepherd and Oliver 🙏🏻. #Nature #HumanNature #Philosophy #ChangeYourThinkingChangeYourLife #Reading_Life #Read https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxnt9KH-hE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
