The lights and colors from the woods feed my spirit. Darkness can be depressing. Life combines light and dark, good and evil. I still have a hard time seeing an evil heart. I have never met a truly evil person. Think what it must take to convince a child or an adult to kill people they don’t know. How can you teach to hate? I have been to Auschwitz. I have seen evil deeds but I have never met the evil mind,

All religions believe we must love and forgive all who we have met. Sometimes it’s hard to understand how one group of people can not see goodness in another group or religion. In our country today, I see things that horrify me. I read of immigrants being held in what can only be called a concentration camp, poor food, poor medical care because it is not safe to send them to their home. Of course it is not called a concentration camp bon only a holding area.

I have truly met more kindness than unkindness in my life, more smiles than frowns.

It is our responsibility to pass down to our juniors the idea that the world belongs to all of us, red, yellow, brown, purple, blue, orange and polka dots.

I’m saddened by my loss of ten trees. I am a true tree hugger. When I walk into the woods I always touch a tree and it always makes a smile follow. I can remember how this feels even when I am stuck indoors. Remember that “indoors” is a swear word for me. I recognize your face but your name is gone. I remember play in my Grandma’s den when I was little but I’m not sure where I put stuff last week. I need to write appointments down, when once I could remember them. Getting old is not for cowards. If I forget a birthday, it’s because I’ve had so many of my own. So I’ll say may all reading this have a Happy Birthday this year.
