The universe is composed of subjects to be communed with, not objects to be exploited. Everything has its own voice. Thunder and lightning and stars and planets, flowers, birds, animals, trees—all these have voices, and they constitute a community of existence that is profoundly related.

Most of those plants are pitcher plants (nonflowering). This photo was taken in the Atlanta Botanical Garden. In Western North Carolina, native pitcher plants, some other carnivorous plants, such as sundews, and orchids may be found in increasingly rare Appalachian bogs.
