May This Purple Bear Keep You Humble

Bears keep me humble. They help me to keep the world in perspective and to understand where I fit on the spectrum of life. We need to preserve the wilderness and its monarchs for ourselves, and for the dreams of children. We should fight for these things as if our life depended on it, because it does. ~ Wayne Lynch – from "Bears: Monarchs of the Northern Wilderness," 1993
