Life and nature are as precarious and precious as they are dangerous.
The last time I had enough time and sanity to write about updates and perspectives was December 2004--at that time, the world was in shock over horrific death toll and destruction from the tsumani in Southeast Asia. Now, once again, I am in Sussex with enough time and trying to reclaim a bit of my sanity--albeit hard after sitting glued to the TV for the past week trying to grasp the reality of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath; its human, economic, political and environmental impact. Precious and precarious.
LOVE, people, LOVE while there is still TIME!!

I am staying in 7-year-old Claire's bedroom while I am here at the Mitchells. Before she went to bed last night, Claire turned on her nightlights for me...a string of heart-encased fairy lights strung along her iron bedstead and a luminous world globe on a nearby table. Wonderously magical, it was just what the doctor ordered for a world-weary adult. I left the lights on and I'm sure I fell asleep smiling!

Rumor has it there is a woman who gets paid to herd goats (apparently she has about 500) along the freeways in Oregon so they can "mow" the grass. She gets $2 per goat per hour...very environmentally savvy, those Oregonians.
