Oliver refers to our environment in a borrowed quote, "Inherited Responsibility... great ones have taught me to observe with passion, to think with patience, to live always caringly. ' We read the authors primer on Whitman, Emerson, Wordsworth, and Poe - their relationship to the nature of the soul with ties to the nature of our environment. In between references to poets and idealists Oliver describes her intimate observations of spiders, owls, fish, and more. I hope to remember her call to action, "Not to talk about...___, but on their behalf." I would sum her views that there are links between all. "We are each others destiny."
