Green Up!

Drip Drip Drip of rain outside. I loved the rain as a kid. Loved stomping through the forest with my dogs. Alone but not by myself. I am so tempted to go outside right now and trudge up the street and the hill - where no one else walks, but know better. Living in LA for the past twenty years I have grown used to relatively mild weather cycles (with the exception of the crazy "el nino" events that coinicided with the Rodney King verdicts. It's strange to once again be visited by the oddities of "bad" weather. Everywhere one turns points to it being a trend. Think of the trees that topple down after the storms after bearing witness to streets for a century. Feeling the push of guilt to green up more in my daily life, for my city, for my child for my planet.
