Dear Editor,
I enjoy reading our colorful paper. It was disturbing to read about a coyote killing contest. I’ve enclosed a quote from Albert Einstein concerning humanity’s compassion for all life.
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe’ —a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Sincerely, Mark Bickett
