L. G. Cullens was born and raised in 1940's Wyoming with Shoshone friends (his naturalist grounding). Then, following a period of military service, he attended various schools in pursuing careers in civil engineering and computer sciences, moving eastward as better schools and work opportunities presented themselves. Finally, in his fifties, in New England and weary of the rat race, he practiced woodworking decorative arts in a home shop. Since, with diminished dexterity, having read extensively throughout his life he does a bit of writing. A natural sciences passion is evinced in his art and writing.

“Ultimate hubris is trashing our little blue canoe.
Fundamental insecurity is turning a blind eye."
~ L. G. Cullens”
L.G. Cullens

“How polite and well-mannered to steal another's birthright
in humankind's subjective, expedient focus of black and white

Huddled in fear that that which is stolen so rightfully
might be taken back by those seen as unsightly”
L.G. Cullens

“The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think. ”
Edwin Schlossberg

“Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife, are in fact plans to protect man.”
Stewart L. Udall

“Everyone believes in the atrocities of the enemy and disbelieves in those of his own side.”
George Orwell, Looking Back on the Spanish War

“And, while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to be
living in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got
you invited to the very best social occasions.”
Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay

“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.”
Mark Twain

And thank you. I don't get around much anymore, but my wife golfs in the summer and quilts in the winter. I just finished reading Vladimir Arseniev's 1923 book Dersu the Trapper which you might find interesting. My review is at: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...


Carolyn Hi LG, thanks for your friend request. I guess my reading is fairly eclectic, although I find myself reading a lot of thrillers at the moment and not so much serious fiction. I worked as a research scientist until recently, so share your concern about ecology, wildlife and the environment.
