Ditch the Doldrums in the Great Outdoors ~Summer of COVID~

By | Discover a Richer World Outdoors | No Comments

Have you ever set your alarm for 5 am, thrown on a sweatshirt and hiked to a place where you can watch the sun rise and enjoy a thermos of coffee while the world wakes up? Or hiked a creek in sandals and stopped to watch the water just run over your feet, turn over rocks for crayfish or take pictures of flowers along the banks? Have you left your bedroom windows open so you can hear the peepers’ chorus as you fall asleep and the chickadees’ good morning as you wake up?

If this brings back fond memories of simpler, childhood days, it’s not too late to live them again.

We will spend more time alone or with many fewer people than we’re accustomed to seeing, especially in summer. This new way of living is a hard change, even with the occasional socially distanced patio picnic.

Black Lives Matter Protest, Martin Luther King Park, Rochester, NY, May 30, 2020

Clarity at the turning point ~thoughts on racism~

By | 30,000 Feet | No Comments

On the afternoon of Saturday, May 30, I marched. I was grateful for the right to protest, and unhappy that we had cause to do so. I joined my family, thousands of people in my community and across our nation and the world to stand up and be counted as an ally of Black and Brown people everywhere. The protest was Black-led, it was youth-led, it was peaceful, it was inspiring, it was as diverse as America.

“Dow posts worst day since 1987” (March 13)

“Dow Soars 11%, Best Day in 87 Years” (March 25).
