Muir
What greater legacy can we leave than nature itself. John Muir (1838-1914) was one of America’s most eloquent and successful advocates for the preservation of wilderness areas, such as the Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. We should treasure not only these wild spaces, but also the wisdom that Muir gleaned from spending so much time in nature. He understood nature’s therapeutic power, reflecting that ‘going out … was really going in’. And Muir was a systems thinking pioneer, noting that ‘when we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.’
— Wayne Visser
