Nature: A Question of Balance

I was working on a commission in Florida when on a walk I found an acorn and took it home with me.  One small thing, an acorn, can grow into a large tree.  We live upon the earth and rely on its bounty for our existence - yet somehow we have unconsciously depleted its resources and continue to destroy the very being (earth) that supports us.  A delicate balance it is and the scales have been tipping in the wrong direction for a while.  Hopefully we help restore the earth with our every action and choice.
