I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the natural world. One, because, as an Elder and retired, I fear for my very existence. Two, did I say I was scared? For my family. Three young granddaughters thrown back into the hell of being, once again,  second class to the almighty male ego. The natural world, that will be threatened, if not destroyed, in the coming years, gives me solace, peace, insight, and is something I understand much better than people 1000's of miles from me.
