November 22, 2021 by bofaw Leave a Comment

“Heaven knows that John the Baptist was not more eager to get all his fellow sinners into the Jordan than I to baptize all of mine in the beauty of God’s mountains.” – John Muir No other naturalist, before or after John Muir has reached his lofty status of being able to decipher and communicate … [Read more…]

Audubon Society: Eight-Step Philosophy

September 21, 2020 by bofaw 2 Comments

When I began teaching environmental biology (1964) it seemed prudent to join The Audubon Society. The society was formed in 1905 probably inspired by John Muir’s creation of the Sierra Club in 1892.

Darwin—Mozart—Sunny Choi—Spiritual Gifts

July 24, 2017 by bofaw Leave a Comment

It is a rare human being (especially male) who is not vexed by being shown that his logic is faulty. Charles Darwin did not belong to that group and reportedly became furious when Alfred Wallace pointed out that his Theory of Evolution did not explain the origin of exceptional human talents involving music, mathematics and … [Read more…]
