The Tragedy of the Commons

This fire has not just destroyed trees but so many innocent lives of creatures who have no way of protecting themselves why brazil is refusing help is beyond reasonable comprehension.

We are after all a site with OUTDOORS and LIFE in our tag line, we should not be quiet about this subject!

Texts begin to come in, research and ideas start to form, and our push to say something begins.  Globally, the details are late to arrive, but the flood gates have been opened, and by now most of our readers have seen the memes and read the details, but for us to stand by and watch doesn’t align with our goals.  We need to get something out!

1 We jump in with this.

Not bad for joining the awareness brigade, but let’s do more than just push the awareness button, let’s at least answer a few questions…

Haiku # 118,119,120 & 121 Summer Love … a full circle challenge

Summer love calling
Rain storm on the horizon
Beach deceptive calm

Sea shore the coolant
Soft fingers searching for shells
Making love with sand

Garden my canvass
Waterfall nurturing seeds
Stones create a stream

French kiss in moonlight
Sunflower a lone witness
Caught in our Shadow

Raindrops from green leaves

Misty mountains crisp fresh air

My Soul still thirsty

Anger destructive

Nature’s brings flood and flury

Human’s hate regrets

Walks with Strangers

A Shared conversation

Begining of the journey

From strangers to friends

But well-behaved dogs don’t spring fully formed from the womb. They must be actively raised — which is not easy. The same goes for kids.–Jeff Koyen

As I returned some books to the library this morning, I drove past a straggle of four-year-olds from a nearby preschool.  The first two kids in line held the teacher or caregiver’s hands.  The rest followed in two loosely constructed lines.  Each of the approximately sixteen kids carried a colorful plastic waterbottle as he or she trudged along.  One young lady  marched virorously, swinging her waterbottle in one hand and  sucking strongly on the thumb of her other hand.   You can make me carry this waterbottle but I’ll do what I want with my other hand.  So there!

We proclaim that we like the naturalness and spontaneity of  young children and puppies.  Yet we spend a lot of time and effort teaching them appropriate…

I have no goals set

Just that whisper of a thought

Experience SELF
