1) John Muir. John Muir has been called the father of conservation in america. He is responsible for the care put into Sequoia Vallery,Yosemite National Park,and other areas. He spent alot of time traveling and camping in the mountains and wrote about his environment and sketched alot of it too.He said alot, He said this: When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to
everything else in the universe. I think you can accept that metaphorically or literally. Hes probably one of the most important people who have been in this country, and i can guarantee the soil speaks highly of him.

2)respect between man and environment, when i was in arizona, the cacti would step aside to avoid poking me.

3)St. Anthony. was one of the earlier monks or ascetics who was known for journeying into the wilderness to seek holy experiences. this must have been after a time whenever people didnt know to do that anymore, and so he was thought to be one of the first. He is also thought to have eaten strange things to aid in his experiences.I enjoy imagery of him as well.
