" Oh, what a catastrophe, what a maiming of love when it was made personal, merely personal feeling.
This is what is the matter with us: we are bleeding at the roots because we are cut off from the earth and sun and stars.
Love has become a grinning mockery because, poor blossom, we plucked it from its stem on the Tree of Life and expected it to keep on blooming in our civilized vase on the table."
- D. H. Lawrence
"Nurture your felt love or respect for nature. Never deny it. That love is nature's voice, our origins in nature, the eons, the purifying intelligence, beauty and diversity of natural systems sustaining us in their perfection. It is the root source of our deeper hopes and ideals.
Our excessive disconnection from nature's attractive and intelligent perfection underlies the insanity of our suffering, greed and destructiveness. Unadulterated natural systems seldom suffer them.
To recover our sanity, we must reconnect our psyche with nature's genius and restore its strength and peace in our consciousness, thoughts and soul. In this book, a readily available Natural Systems Thinking Process empowers us to do this."
- Michael J. Cohen
