Llewellyn: such a heart-warming, lyrical essay. I feel more involved with nature just by reading it. I am at peace and feel more ease when appreciating flowers, trees, shrubs, and more. I am fortunate to live in a neighborhood where these are a part of most of the homes. When we take excursions and trips - I instantly mellow out when we are among trees. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your voice of wisdom and reason. No one including the President is against standing up for George Floyd. The violent riots is what many if not most Americans are against, including Floyd's family and yes, the President.
