The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was born this month (April 20) in 121 CE.  Marcus Aurelius was a Stoic philosopher.  The Stoics equated Nature with God.  The American naturalist John Muir was also born this month (April 21) in 1838.  Muir is one of the patron saints of the environmental movement.  He was an early conservationist and the founder of the Sierra Club. Earth Day is also celebrated this month, on April 22. In honor of these events, our theme for the month of April will be Nature.  We are also looking for articles on Stoicism.
