Friends and the World of Nature

What I have written in these pages is addressed especially to those who like myself feel distressed that science is still generally seen as mechanistic, atomistic, particulate, without deeper meaning. What is needed, I increasingly feel, is a new way of looking at nature, releasing the energies of those who in fact do look at nature in non-"orthodox" ways but are shackled by the fear that they may be wrong and that few believe as they do. What follows is in the form of a meditation on our manifold relations to nature.
