We live in a world marked by borders. We have borders between continents, between people, even between our own hearts and minds. Perhaps one of the most pervasive borders is the one we have placed between ourselves and nature, and the ensuing belief that the natural world is both deaf and mute. Thus, we live as if we were no longer informed by the seasons of change, the ebb and flow of the river, the movement of stars, or the waxing and waning of the moon. As Steven Foster would put it, the Big Lie is that humans are not a part of nature. Or even more so, that humans are not nature.
