“We must begin thinking like a river if we are to leave a legacy of beauty and life for future generations.”

I’m off this week on account of our kids’ fall break, so this time I will lift up the work of David Brower. He was a prominent environmentalist in the 20th Century, and one of the foremost influences on my grandfather. Notably, he was the first Executive Director of the Sierra Club.

Here’s a link to several of his noteworthy quotes. My favorite of these - “We must begin thinking like a river if we are to leave a legacy of beauty and life for future generations.” See y’all next week!
