“We are here to witness; if we were not here the show would play to an empty house . . . .That is why I go for walks . . . to keep an eye on things.”
–Annie Dillard
While I am unsure about the teleological implications, I am sure I love the quote. I believe that nature is a wonder, and life should be a performance, so I certainly need to take my turns in the audience role.
