There Is A Real World,

Mothers Tend To Be More Direct. Fathers Talk To Other Fathers About Their Kids More Metaphorically. It's A Different Way Of Communication.

In Our Bones We Need The Natural Curves Of Hills, The Scent Of Chaparral, The Whisper Of Pines, The Possibility Of Wildness.

There's A Generation Now That Didn't Grow Up In Nature. Some Of These Adults Are Parents And They Know That Nature Is Good For Their Kids But They Don't Know Where To Start.

Our Kids Are Actually Doing What We Told Them To Do When They Sit In Front Of That Tv All Day Or In Front Of That Computer Game All Day. The Society Is Telling Kids Unconsciously That Nature's In The Past. It Really Doesn't Count Anymore, That The Future Is In Electronics, And Besides, The Bogeyman Is In The Woods.

The Future Will Belong To The Nature-smart-those Individuals, Families, Businesses, And Political Leaders Who Develop A Deeper Understanding Of The Transformative Power Of The Natural World And Who Balance The Virtual With The Real. The More High-tech We Become, The More Nature We Need.
