“Nature has always been, and always will be, a source of peace, tranquility, beauty, awe and sanctuary for me. Having always been connected since a child, when I come upon devastation perpetrated by humans I am wild with grief and a depth of sadness that is felt in the core of my being.

“The web of connection on this amazing planet we live on has always been there, but perhaps not as much in our awareness as now with the technology we presently possess. Within seconds we can know what is happening on the other side of the world. Granted this can often be a mixed blessing.

“When reaching the elder stage of life many of us realize with acute awareness that each morning that we wake up to an in breath/out breath, and open our eyes…. it is a gift.
What if the greatest act of creativity comes in this final stage of life. Knowing that how we spend our days matters more than it ever has.”
