Organizing Chaos

The fog is in, softly, tenderly.  I re-read the Declaration of Independence on this Fourth of July, considering our steps forward and backward.  I look forward to a leap cultivating peace knowing that for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

It’s a day to honor our Statue of Liberty and the power of connection she represents as enterprising, curious and risk-taking  people make their way to our shores.  

Here is Bella, in one of her many favorite places.  She knows what she wants and needs.

Pelicans

Yesterday I was at Tennessee Valley Beach with Karen. As we sat on the sand, enjoying the waves, flotillas of pelicans flew overhead. I remembered when the work of Rachel Carson ensured their survival. We share a fragile time in history, and perhaps that’s always been true, but when I see the pelicans flap their wings overhead, I’m grateful for those who ensure clean water and air.
