Time is not wasted

if we hang some bird feeders

and make some suet

It’s always inspiring to watch the winter birds diving for seed and taking turns at a bird feeder.

We are all alternately tired or terrified in waves, as the days quiver. The planet needs our love. People and wildlife do, too.

A lot could be toned down and mellowed out with everyday people committing to perma-culture, reducing both visible and invisible pollution in our individual and collective spheres, investing in vertical urban gardens, and reducing and re-using what we have.

None of us have all the answers, but all of us have some.
