Well, I'm an atheist, and this reads as a Christian hymn. I'd be more comfortable with 'Mother' instead of 'Father' as in Mother Earth" or "Mother Nature." After all, it is a paean to Nature.

Nonethless, I loved it. Absolutely gorgeous artwork about a full range of diverse habitats and ecosystems. Highly recommended to anyone with any interest in how the wilderness is necessary to the health of the spirit." (
