It’s APRIL—time to refresh and renew our interest in the outdoors. Think green... “Spring” Green. Pick a nice day and go outside, take a deep breath and smell the fresh spring breeze. Ahhhhhhhh...
That big breath of fresh air in our lungs is a good reminder to renew our commitment to the outdoor environment and to the future of the fragile planet we share. What we take care of today will be preserved for future generations. This is a time for us to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the natural world.
The supreme reality of our time is the vulnerability of this, our planet.
— John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States

Isn’t it funny – or seriously tragic – that we are so focused on artificial intelligence and yet so out of touch with real intelligence? The real intelligence of nature – which is cosmic wisdom. This is the month to love nature, love the natural world, be present in it. Bring it into your life. Grow your own food, or visit a local farm where your food is being grown. Invest
in Community Supported Agriculture. Ask yourself, what can I habitually do to remember and practice love of nature?
There is no “PLANet B”...
