NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

Earth Day

Celebrate the earth today and throughout the week. Turn the TV off. Walk instead of driving to work, if that’s at all feasible. Read an article about conservation. Plant a tree or even just pop a seed in a pot on your windowsill. Paint a picture with lots of green in it. Write a poem. Or do what I just did--find a poem someone else wrote. This snippet from Willaim Blake's poem "Songs of Experience" blends of trees and Holy Words, an apt image today:

Hear the voice of the Bard!
Who present, past and future sees;
Whose ears have heard
The Holy Word
That walked among the ancient trees.
