useless.














Et comme il est beau, il est vraiment utile.

('And since it is beautiful, it is truly useful.')









Another member of North Cascades Conservation Council board sent out a link to a New York Times Op-Ed piece written by Richard Conniff the other day about the uselessness of earth's creatures.


I found it brilliant.


And it reminded me of that line above from Antoine de Saint Exupéry's The Little Prince, how - perhaps - if we could just see beauty - we might understand all things are useful.
