Remember, millions of seeds broke open today & drew a first breath, sampling the air through the soil, the warmth of the sun, & fragrant water. The first tendrils will push down roots. So long as there are seeds, there is life. Remember the grandness of creation, where life & love are everlasting.

A small forest in a big picture to only restore forests, but to reclaim a deep love and respect for them. I love this story. What could be more wholesome than forests and water and children. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

As grim as this story may be, there's still much to be inspired by. Look no further than this attorney for the children, who rushed to the airport to stop the planes. She stood near the tarmac, warning any officials she saw that they’d be complicit in violating a court order if the planes took off.

Boo-hiss to starting this article with yet more shaming of over-extended parents. However, this is right: "Single-use plastic was never inevitable. It was a business decision…we've been manipulated… [we must] muster the willpower to push for something better." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/06/o...

Many things are challenging right now, but here's a country that is taking the food/agriculture/nature/climate challenge problem very seriously and turning from not only policy development but early implementation with farmers, government, & environmentalists.
