Starting On the Path

Hiking through the mountains and forests of the world provides a perspective that you cannot find in any city or laboratory. The designs of the natural world have guided human progress and given inspiration in a profound way for the entirety of human history. These elements can be seen to be both separate and integrated to human life, but it is a supreme folly for us to consider that there is no harm that can be done to these elements through out own actions. It is a strange site to look at the changes that humanity has wrought within the lifetimes of those living now and the sites that may never be seen again soon. The effects of climate change which are now becoming self evident are what we must all consider and the actions that we take should be well considered not just for our benefit, but for all those around us.
