May we have sunny days and peaceful evenings of gentle rain.
May healthy things grow strong and those who are in need of healing improve.
May the world find peaceful ways to deal with differences.
Nehantic State Forest
29 11 2020
I read that the Nehantic Forester has worked with Professor Bob Askins (Connecticut College) to enhance this area for birds and I was intrigued. I’d worked with Bob Askins many years ago on the Haley Farm area, so I wanted to come to this area.
The views of Uncas Lake were beautiful, making me wish I’d had my kayak with me.

Nayantaquit Trail
22 11 2020
This trail, In Lyme, is a loop trail that has some ups and downs.
The fall beauty was lovely and rock formations were interesting.
Lots of mushrooms after our recent rains, also.

Welcome to 2020: the year of clear vision
1 01 2020
Welcome to the year 2020. Let it be a year of clear vision, not of hindsight nor of foresight, but in the present.
Let us remember as we stand at the ocean that it’s not the Atlantic or the Pacific or whatever other names we as humans have given them. The ocean is endless and it connects us all.
Let us remember that the air that we breathe circulates around the globe. The molecules we inhale may have come from Africa, or Antarctica, or Alaska, or Aruba.
Let us remember that the oxygen we breathe is here because plants convert the carbon dioxide we exhale into animal life-giving oxygen we inhale. It is a global cycle that allows life to continue on earth.
Let us remember to see the interconnections between us and everything else.
Let the year 2020 be a year of clear vision.
{with thanks to M2 for the inspiration]
