“Simple answers to complex problems are usually wrong, but embracing diversity allows the universe to be your resource for understanding the complex relationships of life within land, water and air. Instead of specializing in, segregating out or eliminating components, I prefer to find my place within what nature has provided in its entirety. From the deepest mineral digesting soil microbe to the rodent controlling red tailed hawk that soars high overhead, they all matter."
