What a wonderful weekend topped off by a proud Monday morning. Will (9) and Drew (6) joined me at nature worship on our Chapel on the Deck this morning. As I enjoyed my coffee, the precious two filled me in on their scouting experiences at Camp Snyder this summer. Will and Drew spoke of how much they enjoyed our shady back yard and the Dogwood tree that grows in the middle of the deck. Our conversation turned to conservation, which in writing is just the switching of two consonants, but in definition, the meaning goes from talking--- to actually doing something. Both were puzzled about why we cut down trees and dont value them enough to replace them with new plantings. Will said that it was the greed for power and money and the desire to fill wants. Drew said that we should supply needs everywhere and put wants in their right place. Will asked if we had the Presidents phone number so he could tell him about the wants vs needs debate. And he wanted to speak to the Secretary about the need for forests and playgrounds and for the needs for trees in order for us to have oxygen to breathe. All I can say is WOW! Listen and learn.
