It shames me–or maybe humbles is a better word–that the comment was (so much) better than the post. May I reformat this and post it to “alovebasket.com”? You may reply here or send me an e-mail if this is agreeable. As always, thank you.

On my way to the rubbish pile yesterday I spotted a wool sower gall growing on an oak sapling. How brilliant that everyday I get to discover, consider and enjoy such wonders and mysteries. How it hurts to see chem-trails overhead of this seemingly paradise. How it hurts to consider the many children even my own that have been physically compromised by the chemical pollutants which have been allowed into the food system, many only to be spiritually compromised by the pharmaceutical companies selling their snake oils. With all the artificial convenience our society has grown accustomed to it is hard to imagine a reversal of our apathetic tendencies. The I-pod has replaced the birds singing, Lean Cuisine has replaced real food, a microwave has replaced this relic called fire, television has replaced imagination and strip malls have replaced the empty fields where 20 years ago a group of kids would have had a pick-up game of ball . Dare I show my truly cynical nature and say that perhaps one day children may think this thing called ‘Earth’ is only a ride at Disney World. And yet…this past February as I was going to take pictures of a multitude of Red-Winged Blackbirds on the back lawn a team of Bufflehead ducks came in for a landing on the lake, a rafter of Wild Turkeys came strutting into the picture and then a King Fisher did a 90 degree expert dive to retrieve his supper. As I stood in utter wonder at how the previous 5 seconds had unfolded I smiled and began to laugh. I was not alone in my joy and amazement. The Creator so loves His creation. How I long for the days when “they shall build homes and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them” and “they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks”. Until then may it be our mission to breed curiosity, appreciation and hope.
