LOVE the picture you took on Memorial Day!!!! And completely agree with the premise of this piece......humanity will begin to heal by the small acts of beauty, kindness, and love that each of us do every day.
We have been trying to attract bluebirds to our new feeder designed for them. They are around for sure, but haven’t used it yet. We built some bluebird nesting boxes this spring, but I think I put them up a bit late. Hopeful for next year. A nuthatch has built their stick like nest in one, so at least it’s being used:)
Yes, these small joys and hopes hold me and my family together.

This planet will not
be healed
by powerful politicians
in big cities
who spend trillions
on a global strategy
that never quite begins.
They also burn
much fuel.
Earth will be healed
by villagers
who sing,
by backyard gardeners
like you,
who walk more slowly
right here,
who feel the green
through bare soles,
speaking fewer words,
cradling
each others anger
like mothers,
awakening
the heirloom seeds
of the heart.

Beautiful. Thanks Rhoda
Thanks, I needed to read this.

Those tiny things that seem so small really do matter -- and keep us going. Thank you for writing. Also very cool bird photos!
