Before diving into this course, reflect on the living beings in our world. Consider this quote by Murray Garboden:  

"I…like to speak my thanks for non-humans aloud too. When I do this…I like to think 

it puts me in a child’s mind, to see the whole world as alive and caring for me, and it also models my care for the awe-inspiring world, the plants, animals, [and] atmosphere" (Garboden, 2022).
