"There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light." --

Barry Lopez: Lyrical Writer and Thoreau of Our Times

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."
