Terry Tempest Williams Quote
The irony of our existence is this: We are infinitesimal in the grand scheme of evolution, a tiny organism on Earth. And yet, personally, collectively, we are changing the planet through our voracity, the velocity of our reach, our desires, our ambitions, and our appetites. We multiply, our hunger multiplies, and our insatiable craving accelerates.Consumption is a progressive disease.We believe in more, more possessions, more power, more war. Anywhere, everywhere our advance of aggression continues.My aggression toward myself is the first war.Wilderness is an antidote to the war within ourselves.
