cat on a soapbox
I am a native Southern Californian who has been a nature lover since childhood..My name is Catherine, but Cat became a nickname.
Whether in the garden, on the trail, or in the wilderness, I enjoy observing the things that I find and learning what I can about them. I have a great respect for nature and have faith in her sustainability. We, as stewards of the earth, should respect the purpose of all living things and realize that our actions, even those with the best of intentions, affect the balance of things.
"First, do no harm" - Hippocrates
"In wildness is the preservation of the world." Henry DavidThoreau
"The greatest beauty is organic wholeness
The wholeness of life and things,
The divine beauty of the universe.
Love that, not man apart from that."
-Robinson Jeffers
