Enoughness by bill McKibben

2004

“but say you're in a Meadow surrounded by wildflowers. Do you find yourself thinking, they could do with some more wildflowers over there? Do you glance up at the mountains on the horizon and think quote some more mountains would be nice? Do you lie on the rock by the Brook thinking , this book needs more rocks? Does the Robin in that tree chide herself for not tripling the size of her nest? I think not.
