On Dew, Disasters, and Declining Biodiversity


The grand show is eternal.
It is always sunrise somewhere;
the dew is never dried all at once;
a shower is forever falling;
vapor is ever rising.
Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn, and gloaming,
on sea and continents and islands,
each in its turn,
as the round earth rolls. ~ John Muir

While we see the beauty all around in a morning dew, a spectacular sunrise or sunset, a hazy full moon, a pristine, green park... it is sad to see that the world's biodiversity is declining, and that some man made disasters threaten the beauty of our world.

What are your thoughts about the beauty and fragility of our world?
