Perhaps the most fundamental value Prof. Waverli wished to endow to us during our lecture and educational field trips was for us to realize how important it is to be cognizant and aware of what is around us no matter the situation or environment. Part of our "fear" is from lack of senses, simply limiting ourselves to physical senses puts the natural environment at the margins of a conscious and connected existence that we as humans share with the environment, one we generally try to suppress because of our misconstrued sensual interaction with the “wild” “unknown” environment.
