On page 219 of The Wild Marsh, Rick Bass talks about weeds being enemies of change and life other than themselves. I really love his in depth look at all of nature's processes and our role in that framework. His imagery and metaphors really help explain even the most common scenes that most people wouldn't even give a second look. He has appreciation for the minute details that actually have such a massive role in nature. It has been a very involved book thus far- I don't want to miss any of his rummblings on and so forth about nature and all that goes with it!
