Among the astonishing variety of landscapes and wildlife some make time to sit in peace and contemplate the singular nature of the Galápagos and all the connections uniquely apparent here. Too often we rush from event to event, stimulation to stimulation as if that sprint alone affirms our worth and existence. Only by ceasing the rush can we truly apprehend and comprehend man’s connection with the rest of the natural world (in general) and (specifically) our own personal and singular connection to all around us.

Thank you, BF, for your insights and thoughts that steered me toward the unifying element of this presentation.
