Happy Earth Day 2008!
In my quest to avoid the computer for long extended stays, I suggest you consider doing the same (if you aren’t online, then what fun is it for me?). So, grab your green tea (green tea, because it’s, well, green) and think about getting out into the world today. Allow your feet to connect to the earth (if its warm enough take off your shoes and feel the sand or grass between your toes). And then look around you, really look. Try to notice ten things you have not noticed before on your way to work, lunch, or backyard. Allow beauty to happen. If you are in a concrete jungle, look for the lone tree, the weeds fighting for survive in the cracks of the pavement, or even the bouquets of flowers at the corner florist.
Just take this time to be part of the earth, even if for just a moment.
I am.
