The vast majority of people I am in contact with have a great image of the macro view the Sierra imparts, yet they lack the knowledge to properly view the Sierra in a holistic way. A way that takes in the entire Sierra and recognizes inconsistencies with beauty, biodiversity and the nested systems within. For some a mono-crop of Douglas-fir is beautiful for others it is an atrocity. There can be multiple conclusions when observing a single object depending on ones perspective, macro vs mico, reductionist vs holistic. Thank you Bill. Justin Wages
