       | little ecosystem healthy. If only I knew more.

       | Thought about the great outdoors (we know so little about) - that
       | 4 billion-year experiment. Humbling. So many life-forms to
       | sustain, so much that has to be balanced. Despite our abuse, we
       | take it for granted. That good fortune may not persist.

       | had a tangible impact on the world, they all rallied together and
       | got something done. They can look back at this as they are older
       | and feel like they made the world a tiny bit better during their
       | lives. I write software and really have almost no lasting impact.
       | Went from feeling pretty superior to appreciative in one short
       | article. Interesting how that happened.
