Got nearly halfway through 'Last Child in the Woods' this morning. His comments on organized sports and about the disappearance of music from schools leaves you with much to think about. After lunch I went down to the arb. There were beautiful spiderworts blooming across the prairie. Much more blue than the dark purple variety I have at home. Watched a red-tailed hawk circle near the entry kiosk and photographed a family of Canada geese. I walked into the maple collection and discovered the inspiring quietude of a memorial area for Annamarie Campbell.
"[What is the] extinction of a condor to a child who has never seen a wren?" --naturalist Robert Michael Pyle, quoted in 'Last Child in the Woods'.
