Nature a Masterpiece

"It should be obvious that every masterpiece of art deserves not only
our attention, appreciation, and admiration, but also our protection. We are
quick to recognize that a masterpiece of painting deserves every sort of care
and appreciation. Nature, likewise, which is full of signs of God and is
furthermore a masterpiece of His creative effort, deserves our watchfulness,
gratefulness, and respect."
