Benedict’s Corner
The Single Garment of Destiny
"We must all learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the way God’s universe is made; this is the way it is structured."
Martin Luther King Jr.

Recommended Comment Considerations
When commenting, please consider the three doors that charitable speech must pass through.
The gatekeeper at the door asks, "Is it true?" The second gatekeeper asks, "Is it helpful?" The third gatekeeper asks, "Is it kind?"
(adapted from the writings of Krishnamurti by James Martin on p. 169 of this book.)

Science Policy Quote of the Month
"In the real world, many risks we face present neither the great certainties we would need to use cost-benefit analysis effectively nor the almost complete uncertainties that would justify radical precautionary approaches. Moreover, neither the precautionary principle nor cost-benefit analysis tell us anything about the role of democracy in making policy decisions.
I am currently working to develop new approaches rooted in deliberative democracy which might move beyond both strict cost-benefit and knee-jerk precaution toward processes that could achieve better public participation and greater political legitimacy on the major environmental threats to our future."
Jonathan Gilligan, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences on his website here.
On Learning Through Blogging
"From my perspective, I declare winning by participants (myself and others) asking questions, providing arguments, further developing an argument in response to other arguments, learning something, and possibly changing your mind about something. Its about the dialogue, I’m not interested in takedowns. "

Super cool…thanks for sharing Sharon.
Very nice, especially for something produced by the Forest Service. It’s amazing that they can showcase the values like this, and then proceed to do dumb projects that degrade those values with logging, grazing, roads, and OHVs.
I hate to say it, but I am surprised that the USFS put out something this nice. I would like to see more of this. I don’t just mean photos and videos either; I would like to see the USFS take an interest in quality of presentation across the board.
I wonder if a USFS employee with an interest in photography pushed this through on their own, or if this was commissioned by leadership. I also wonder how much resistance there was to putting Lightroom on a USFS computer, assuming a USFS computer was used for editing.
To end on a positive note: this is great, I hope to see more!
