the trees were mistaken

It’s been a busy week. I missed my usual Sunday posting and on a full moon no less… Now it’s Earth Day and I was having a hard time slowing down enough to come up with something to say. I started feeling sorta guilty for not being more promotive of all things earthy. This is Green Tee, after all. Then I started thinking, why today? Isn’t every day Earth Day, really? And if we aren’t thinking that way, shouldn’t we be? No excuses, just thoughts. I guess the guilt is more about not being more productive; I owe you some new stuff; designs, causes and other stuff too and this too shall come - in its own due course evidently. And yes, Earth definitely does deserve it’s own special day, too.

So I’d been wondering what song might suit today’s occasion and today’s mood, which may be considered somewhat out of sorts. Maybe its the pace previously mentioned… anyway nothing was striking me. Then late this afternoon I heard this song and it I knew it was what I was looking for. The title clinched it, especially when I got home and realized that not only were the trees mistaken, but so were the people of Pennsylvania. I’ll give her one thing; Hil’s got grit… alright I’ll give her more than that but she’s not my candidate (currently) and I’m tired of the negative campaigning and her “experience” including the Beirut sniper and other fish tales. Come to think of it I’m over the campaigning and politics and pundits altogether. See? Totally out of sorts.

So without further ado, do have a happy. Do something for our Earth today, tomorrow and the next day. Leave places and people and things better than you found them. Envision the change you want - and as Gandhi so powerfully conveyed: be the change you wish to see.
