The naturalist is a civilized hunter. He goes alone into the field or woodland and closes his mind to everything but that time and place, so that life around him presses in on all the senses and small details grow in significance. He begins the scanning search for which cognition was engineered. His mind becomes unfocused, it focuses on everything, no longer directed toward any ordinary task or social pleasantry.

The worst thing that can happen—will happen—is not energy depletion, economic
collapse, limited nuclear war, or conquest by a totalitarian government.

correct, is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural
habitats. This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us.
