I walk about, trying to find just a small spot to gather my thoughts without the world imploding upon me. Do you feel this uneasiness, too?

It seems everyone is angry… tempers rage out of control, and logical reasoning has taken an extended vacation.

World leaders seem more concerned with extending their reigns of terror, rather than with concern for the welfare of the people they are given the responsibility to govern.

Governmental restrictions on pollution of air, land, and water are eased or eliminated, so our planet, which we call home, is becoming sicker by the day.

Before it all disappears, come with me out into nature, where her gifts are on display for us to see.

Sometimes we all struggle to exist…to find our place in the world. Here, a young mountain laurel finds enough soil in a crack in the boulder to sustain its life. The conditions may not be optimal, but life continues.
