Bridge on winding road

The Sierra Club is a blend of the recreational folks and public-policy folks. Both currents are pretty strong in there — it’s a source of tension in the organization, but a creative tension. That’s one of their unique strengths: They offer a way for people to enjoy nature, but also make the bridge over to the kinds of public policy required to preserve the opportunity to enjoy nature.”

Love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep on watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.

John Winston Ono Lennon, 1940-1980

Such are the ways of being environmentally friendly. You can’t just do it once, you have to keep doing it. You have to think about it every day and in everything you do. Am I doing the ‘greenest’ thing I can? Is this the greenest option? It becomes a lifestyle.

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them.

~Bill Vaughn

Not too far from where I live, is a nice undeveloped corner at a major intersection. One corner has a Sonic drive-in, another a feed store. One corner is wooded with blackjacks and typical cross-timbers, a cedar tree here and there. The other corner holds some nice large old trees and lots of prairie grass. In the summertime, there’s a fireworks stand there, and the rest of the year, you’ll sometimes see the sheriff’s deputies parked there.

I came by the other day and someone had bulldozed all the big old trees. Sadness crept across my face. I stopped at Sonic and asked about the corner lot.

They bulldozed those wonderful trees…

for a Dollar store.

Sad, isn’t it.

“Organic buildings are the strength and lightness of the spiders’ spinning, buildings qualified by light, bred by native character to environment, married to the ground.

Frank Lloyd Wright

(American architect and writer, called a genius of American architecture. His Prairie style became the basis of 20th century residential design in the US.)

Carob is a brown powder made from the pulverized fruit of a Mediterranean evergreen. Some consider carob an adequate substitute for chocolate because it has some similar nutrients (calcium, phosphorus), and because it can, when combined with vegetable fat and sugar, be made to approximate the color and consistency of chocolate. Of course, the same arguments can as persuasively be made in favor of dirt.

Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.
