This blog has a "Biophilia" label. You changed my life sir. You taught me to appreciate and embrace our natural world with wonder.
Good bye sir. It's been a privilege and honor for me to have lived in the same time as you did.
I don't know what to write. So I am just gonna continue to live this life and carry a little flame to pass on to the the next generation.
Thank you for the flame and everything.
If I could do it all over again, and relive my vision in the twenty-first century, I would be a microbial ecologist. Ten billion bacteria live in a gram of ordinary soil, a mere pinch held between thumb and forefinger. They represent thousands of species, almost none of which are known to science. Into that world I would go with the aid of modern microscopy and molecular analysis. I would cut my way through clonal forests sprawled across grains of sand, travel in an imagined submarine through drops of water proportionately the size of lakes, and track predators and prey in order to discover new life ways and alien food webs.
