Green Seal wishes you a happy May weekend, and leaves you with the following inspirational quote: My hope for all future generations is that they will have (in addition to sunshine, fresh air, clean water, and fertile soil) a somewhat slower pace of life, with plenty of time to pause in quiet places...haunted places - everyday accessible places, open to the public, places that are not too radically transformed over time - places susceptible of cultivation where people can express their caring, and nature can respond. Places with tough, gnarled roots and tangled stalks, with digging mammals and noisy birds - places of common remembrance and hopeful guidance - places of unexpected encounters - places that breed solidarity across difference - places where children can walk in the footsteps of those who have come before - places that are perpetually up for adoption - places that have been humanized but not conquered or commidified - places that foster a kind of connectedness both mournful and celebratory. - Aaron Sachs, historian, Cornell University.
