A paragraph of Becoming Earth by Ferris Jabr that reads “For hundreds of thousands of years, our species has been learning how best to tend not only our personal gardens but also the planetary garden of which we are a part. Despite the gift and burden of our self-awareness, our progress has been anything but linear. Ancient wisdom has been lost, ignored, and rediscovered. Crisis has forced both error and innovation. Today, we know more than ever about the intricate ecological interdependencies that keep our planet alive. It has never been more important to apply that knowledge: to reject the ideas that we are masters of the planet, while simultaneously accepting our out-sized influence; to recognize that we and all living creatures are members of the same garden and embrace our role as one of its multitudes of stewards; to realize the our continued existence in this world is not a given. We are but one of innumerable organisms crawling along the skin of a living rock, wrapped in a film of air, whirling through the vacuum of space at unfathomable speed. The universe is indifferent to us, moving inexorably toward a state of maximum entropy in which living planets like ours—in which life of any kind—will be impossible. Earth is a beautiful rebellion and a precarious miracle: a garden in the void.”
