It's life itself that's the marvelous gift
Marjory Stoneman Douglas, a renowned environmental activist, emphasizes the intrinsic value and wonder of existence. She reminds us that life is precious and should be embraced wholeheartedly. From the smallest organisms to the vastness of human existence, life, in all its forms, evokes awe and admiration. The connections we share with the natural world further amplify the splendor of this gift. She encourages us to appreciate the beauty of life and to cultivate compassion towards all living things.
