Skin and Skins
This morning there is a very bright, but waning, moon and clear skies and the sun is in its twilight rising. The forest is brilliantly bathed in a supernatural blue light and, though there is still a chill on the air, the earth is breathing its life to us and envigorating us. The smell and sounds of the waking forest are wonderful. My ecstatic little wife is dancing and prancing about camp behind the 1980 F250 which has become our refuge while we work and pay our remote land and home. She wears no shoes and nothing but her favorite tie-dye shirt if she can.

The Rose and the Stone
High up on a cliff a large stone slumbered. The wind passed by this day, gathering up to itself the small specks of soil the stone rested upon. On their way they went with the wind, each beginning a new journey, enough of them that the sleeping stone was dislodged from his bed to begin one of his own.

The Knocking Friend
At home wondering, if ever these times will change. I could read or make a fictional story; I swear COVID is taking me down a lane, I never want to visit again. I am trying to say that nothing is new, and I keep watching the same view, starting to itch, and itch, and itch for a change; that is all I can do. Not true. I could go out for a walk with all my friends, distance, we at a distance, but none of them walk. I would pass a visit, but the government says we cannot. What is this world becoming? Where will the time take me? Imagine being a social butterfly and then bearing upon a hibernating season; A season that has me feeling worse than a widow grieving. I told my voices to push me; this low is changing me in ways I do not enjoy. I thought I still needed to keep pushing myself; regardless of the amount of time and energy I did, I feel it is not enough. On my lowest of lows, I decided to turn to nature and the beauty it provides.

Make Paganism Acceptable Again
Earth worship is a sacred part of all of Humanity's ancestry. We all hail from small communities of farmers, and hunter gatherers. Once we lived in harmony with our natural environment, because it was understood that we owe our very survival to the verdant beauty of this, our Garden of Eden. This is not only true of one particular race, or ancestry, or culture. It is true of all peoples of the Earth. We see remnants of monuments from the Neolithic Age in all populated corners of the world. Monuments which were mysteriously aligned to stars in the sky and specific astronomical events. From Stonehenge, to Machu Picchu, to the Giza complex, no ancestry of humanity was without nature worship if one only looks far enough back.

Ecological Footprint
Ecological Footprint or better known as Carbon Footprint is the quantity of carbon dioxide or other things with carbon in them that someone produces. We all produce Carbon Footprints. When you have a Carbon Footprint, you’d usually think that you alone couldn’t change the world and you would die without a trace or hurting the atmosphere. But if everyone has a carbon footprint and there are around 7.8 billion people in this world, then that would hurt the atmosphere a lot. Especially when a lot of people in one area. Take China for example. That is perhaps the most populated nation on the planet. Envisioned how everybody gets around the place. Individuals use vehicles, bikes, thus significantly more ways of transportation. All of those things are producing some sort of Carbon. And that’s not good. Everyday things can hurt the environment. Petroleum derivatives are the primary driver of ozone-harming substances. Electricity in your home and at school or work creates a carbon footprint.
