Who Am I
I am David Marinelli. I research the origin, meaning, purpose and destination of life. I also have a keen interest in ecology, wilderness as social order, biodiversity, wilding, wild habitat degradation and extinction of species.

We are the expression of a good God and are beholden to a higher moral order.
“…and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8: 31-32).
Ecology
Think of the rain and the sea that provide the water you drink
Think of the air you breath provided by the oceans and trees

Think of the place you live in that is made from rock and ores from Earth’s crust

We owe a debt of gratitude and allegiance to the natural world
