Our focus as a nature organization and in this newsletter has centered on extolling the virtues and beauty of Nature while encouraging people to preserve our biophilic connection. This past week , Nature displayed its other destructive side, ravaging the magical Guadalupe River valley, while taking the precious lives of too many. The valley will no doubt demonstrate resilience on its time scale, while Humans will struggle to do the same. A much better writer than I would labor to express the emotional turmoil of it all, and the best writer would know that there are no words.
