You're very kind. It can be overwhelming, absolutely. My parents always tried to teach me that grace is being thankful even for the bad things in life. I'm finding it hard to practice grace when so much that I love is being threatened, but I keep on trying! I hope you are right and that we are going to circle back to what we once understood. I think we'll have to if we want to survive. Thank you so much for the kind support during my down spell, Mary Anne. I'm back in the saddle again and have just been speaking with a friend who attended a summit of a number of the anti-spray groups. She said it went really well and it was helpful to hear what everyone is working on. I'm really happy to hear it was such a good meeting and hope we'll be hearing some new bright ideas come out of the meeting! Miriam Thank you, Mary Anne! You’re very kind.

Beautiful and true and so very poignant. How many wonderful things must we lose before everyone begins to appreciate what we have. The enormity of this situation is sometimes overwhelming. We can only give what we have to give and hope that this change is beginning now. Humankind has become so divorced from nature and we have a long road back to understanding that we are a part of everything and everything works together so wonderfully. How interesting that so many people see progress as linear and yet it seems we are in a circular pattern going back to what we once understood. I'm so glad you are feeling well enough to be back at it again. Stay well and be happy in spite of it all. Mary Anne That was a beautiful comment, Mim. Beautiful and true and so very poignant.
