A Small Reflection on the Weather

As I write it is starting to snow and is bitterly cold, but the change in the weather is not all bad news. Hundreds of birds are flying around the house as I write, seeking out the grains and bread I have left for them. Some are on the cedar shingles which cover the timber […]

Another Lesson from Gaia

It was sad this morning to learn that the trapped New Zealander miners are in all likelihood dead and I feel for all those who grieve for them. When thirty three men were trapped underground in Chile, comments were made about the low standard of safety regulation that may have contributed to the cause of […]
