"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

Audubon Arctic Wall Calendar 2024 allies with November polar bears, ringed seal predators whom they aliken in abiding among Arctic and Sub-Arctic sea ice as areas that allow meeting, mating and resting.

March, April and May betoken when polar bears (sea bear, Ursus maritimus, "bear sea" literally) most bother ringed seals (bristly seal, Pusa hispida, “seal bristly” literally). Ringed-seal mothers-to-be construct four to six lairs to contain each annually conceived pup the first two months of that newborn’s perhaps 25- to 40-year lifespan. The five- to seven-week lactation period demands that the ringed-seal mother and her pup, birth-weighted at 10 pounds (4.53592 kilograms) domicile in different lairs different nights.
