The Moment Muse

Bag It debuted a few months ago, but it's worth rementioning.

"Bag It has been garnering awards at film festivals across the nation. What started as a documentary about plastic bags evolved into a wholesale investigation into plastics and their effect on our waterways, oceans, and even our bodies. Join the Bag It movement and decide for yourself how plastic your life will be."

To gather, to gather. Our great generator for planetary and individual health is our environment and how we respond to all its challenges. Each and every species is a twinkle reflected as light on water, each spout from a whale, each sprout from a seed. Each wave is an opportunity for rhythm renewal. Each tree, each breeze, each drop. Each and every whale. We too are seeds reaching for the sun, drinking in moisture.

Eat yours and BE healthy, not GET healthy. 

I love broccoli and broccaflowers slightly steamed and add cooked noodles. I love DeBoles Jerusalem artichoke noodles. In a frying pan, add fresh chopped 

garlic with olive oil and a bit of Braggs. Add the broccoli and noodles, heat together, top with fresh goat feta or asiago or both. Eat warm and cherish the moment as you taste health.

Savor the flavor.

I first began to notice the whales in 1975, yes that's a different century already, but they, the whales, were already here. This little book and story are evidence that I have been permanently affected and pray that we are also effective on behalf of the remaining 18,000 whales on our coast.

I stayed over at a friend's house and went back the very next day to the shore to see if the whales were still there. I quite concerned that if the tide wasn’t high, they would be stranded and not make it back out to sea. No, they were no longer there, I went up and down that stretch of beach and only one other observer noted they had been seen earlier that day and then no more.

Many folks were standing there at the edge of the shore that day several years ago, when Neil Osborn, the artist of Blimps & Whales, and I were first introduced. He arrived that sunny and quite afternoon in a brocade three-piece suit, quite nice but so in another century and out of place at the warm beach. Both of us stood there wondering why so many folks were standing at the shore the way they were.
