Seeing Green

Human eyes like to gaze into other eyes—so it is easy for us to overlook creatures that do not have eyes. Even when these creatures are countless, even when they’re all around, and even when they are invaluable to human life—if they are not similar to us, we are blind to them.

The Woods Do Us Good

Greenery and birdsong are not only pleasant, but can also heal us. Is this a strong statement? Yes, but there is evidence for it. It seems that we are all biophiles for whom harmony with nature is a condition of happiness.
