response to "Thinking Like a Mountain"

Aldo Leopold is a fantastic descriptive writer.  He really brought me into the world he experienced and Into his mind.  The beginning described the relationships between neighbors. I liked how he told of relationships between deer, farmers, hunters, and the Wolf.  He showed how we as humans see the wolf as a predator, but if we take a closer look, if we had the wisdom of a mountain we would see their grave importance to the wildness.  I think Aldo is so clever in how he uses the wolf and the mountain to paint a picture of how humans wan immediate comfort and gratification, but what we may fail to see is the danger of the futre for the comfort pf now.
