once i sat in a city park near my house and tried to count all the different plants i could see just from my spot, all the grasses and weeds and trees and shrubs. i'm not so knowledgeable in this, and i'm sure there were many i missed. and i can't remember now what the number was. but it was so many. we're surrounded in such an abundance, wherever we are. lovely post.

I couldn't agree with you more. I love looking at the jays and crows and hummingbirds in my back yard (despite the fact that baby hummingbirds are the jays favorite snacks). I'm delighted when mother raccoons come and eat the vegetables I'm trying to grow. It is really important to me not to live in my head; not to think about money or politics or violence or trends. For my own sanity I need to remember that I'm more a part of the Earth than the World.
