Explanation:  As of this writing, it is December 2020.  The world is ablaze with the worst global pandemic likely in recorded history.  It has been a year of turmoil and conflicts -- socially, politically, economically, environmentally.  And, for too many, rife with person loss. 

But ... 

Remember this.

Nature will persist.  And it is in our hands, our choice, as to how to forge our collective futures together.

The environments we create, manipulate, degrade, restore, and conserve, are all we have on this planet.  

It is a gift.  To all of us.  Together.

This year, this season, it is the most precious holiday gift.  

Remember this.

Happy, healthy holidays, to all !

- Bruce Marcot
