CHAPTER 6
THE ENVIRONMENTS
Saguaros can grow in the most improbable of environments. Their surface roots are usually only half a foot deep and radiate out as far from the plant as it is tall. There is one deep taproot that extends into the hard desert ground several feet. Saguaros can live without water for 2 years.
No man is an island, entire of itself … any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
—John Donne, Devotions upon emergent occasions - Meditation XVII, 1624.
El que no transa, no avanza. (If you don't cheat, you don't get ahead).
—Mexican proverb
