Humanity's relationship with nature cannot be conceived in a reductionist or disjointed manner. (Edgar Morin)

Imagination is a tree. It has the integrating virtues of a tree. It is roots and branches. It lives between earth and sky. It lives in the earth and the wind. The imagined tree imperceptibly becomes the cosmological tree, the epitome of a universe, the creator of a universe. (Gaston Bachelard)
