shadowfireflame"...[respecting nature] means practicing remembrance and gratitude, for thanksgiving is the simplest and most basic of ways for us to recollect the nature, the culture, and the history that have come together tomake the world as we know it."
--William Cronon, from "The Touble with Wilderness." Just thought I would share, as the line seems so apt, considering that Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Can you imagine giving thanks to Nature instead of...well, who is it we Americans are thanking, anyway? God?
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving! Think about where your food really comes from this Thanksgiving.
