“The absence of the tanager is but one indicator of the disruption we have inflicted and the root of this disruption is within us. We haven't been good neighbors on this planet. If we could see how our solipsism harms other animals, we might take more responsibility to remedy the harm we have done. When we heal the planet, it in turn heals us. It truly is a circle, like the glaucous Earth and the scuffed moon, like the round, round window that I was about to inherit.”
