Darwin for obvious reasons
detail oriented undoggable explorer of nature
perfect kind gentleman in disagreement

Nhat Hahn for his moral compass of compassion
and being present

Homer for heroics
and a good time
and a full life

McClintock as patient deeply connected observer
with a feeling for the organism

Sagan as dispenser of high truths of the universe
as inspiration

Feynman to cut to the heart of a matter
for understanding at the deepest level

Leopold for his sense of connection
and caution in tinkering

Montag
to see reality
and say it plainly

and probably you disagree
and probably they disagree with each other
good
