Aldo Leopold found it in the green re shining in the eyes of a dying wolf. Thomas Berry found it in a meadow of white lilies. Rachel Carson found it in the darkness at the edge of pounding surf. Last fall, a gathering of twenty-four thinkers sought it in the green shadows of giant cedars that grow along Oregon’s Blue River. What they were looking for was the moral meaning that follows from the interconnectedness of life.
