Take a good look

How interesting that Sidney Lovett sees a objects of nature - non-human, non-animal, even - as evidence that we are not alone. We are all deeply connected - even with those parts of the universe we typically don't think of as being alive:

Every now and again take a good look at something not made with hands --a mountain, a star, the turn of a stream. There will come to you wisdom and patience and solace and, above all, the assurance that you are not alone in the world.

-- Sidney Lovett
