still clearing the clutter...i have one little short stack of photos left. this morning i came across a picture i took at roosevelt island just before i moved back to texas from maryland in 2002. one of the monoliths is entitled NATURE. it reads:
THERE IS DELIGHT IN THE
HARD LIFE OF THE OPEN
THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN
TELL THE HIDDEN SPIRIT OF
THE WILDERNESS THAT CAN REVEAL
ITS MYSTERY ITS MELANCHOLY
AND ITS CHARM
THE NATION BEHAVES WELL IF IT TREATS THE
NATURAL RESOURCES
AS ASSETS WHICH IT MUST TURN OVER TO
THE NEXT GENERATION
INCREASED AND NOT IMPAIRED IN VALUE
CONSERVATION MEANS DEVELOPMENT
AS MUCH AS IT DOES
PROTECTION
i am still moved by this and haunted.
