- How engaged are we with the green that intermingles with the manufactured landscape in which most of us live?
- How often do we take the time to experience real beauty in our immediate environment?
- How do we know when we have stepped beyond the limits of our place in nature?
- Will young birds be abandoned by their parents if they are handled by humans?
- How do we measure sustainability?
I am a typical urbanite living in a large city and have never truly explored the green that intermingles with the manufactured landscape in which I live.
Today I decided to put on my red rubber boots and spend a moment to experience what little overt nature co-exists with me right here in the city, below and beside the bridge I cross daily.
I wander into the marshy area among the cattails and rushes. Many red-winged blackbirds are squawking in the distance. My senses feel alive.
