Journey with me to a true commitment to our environment. Journey with me to the serenity of leaving to our children a planet in equilibrium.

This pictures is missing the one year old boy from our family who wears the shirt. But I think we can all take a lesson from his name: Will. :)
PORCH REFLECTIONS:
My friends, Randy and Jane, just took a road trip to Georgia. Randy described seeing many houses with front porches and all variety of chairs, some that rock and others that don't. A company of creative MN custom builders that I know has built access to the fireplace from the porch, so this idea can flow toward northerners.
What happens when people take time to sit on a porch? Sitting in a state of relaxation can cause time and lists and goal directed action to slow or momentarily stop. A porch can be a conversation place for two people from the same house or an invitation to neighbors walking by. "How is your family?"
Ideas are like clouds floating by. One has to slow down enough to catch them. Porches can create a place for people to do that.
Do you have a porch?
Do you have a place like a porch?
Porch like experiences might happen when you are anywhere and carried off by sounds of music.
It might happen when you are watching the bird feeder or watching hummingbirds drink nectar from the flowers.
Make room in your life for porch time!
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Emerson
