Our friendly neighborhood cat often pays us a visit.  Here he is, luxuriating in the coolness under the bench on a hot evening, playing with action figures, after enjoying a supersized water.  What a simple life.  We could take lessons from him.

Lots of pollination is going on.  There’s a baby pumpkin hanging on the fence.  Birds, mammals, and lizards are procreating right outside the house.  One day recently we watched a huge raptor devouring a small mammal in a tree.  It’s a wild time out there.

I find the natural world so much more balanced and well-adjusted than the devolving human one these days.  And yet we’re rushing to destroy the environment we depend on for life.  Fortunately (or not), nature always fights back to ensure its survival.
