Henry offers more rich thoughts to stir into the compost of our life here on the Home Planet.

“I love Nature partly because she is not human, but a retreat from humanity.  None of humanity’s institutions control or pervade her.  There, a different kind of right prevails.  In her midst I can be glad with an entire gladness.  If this world were all humankind, I could not stretch myself, I should lose all hope.  Humanity is constraint, she is freedom to me.  Humanity makes me wish for another world.  She makes me content with this.”

~Henry David Thoreau, Journals, January, 1853
