I love this planet. Not only do I love the diversity of its’ people, but also its’ animal and plant life. I am intrigued by the fact that the sky appears blue even though air is transparent. I am mesmerized by birds flying fearlessly hundreds, maybe even thousands of feet in the air, and wonder what they see and how it feels to have nothing under foot. Water, whether in the form of oceans, lakes, rivers or small ponds, holds a particular fascination for me. I feel an intense connection to water, a need to be around it, to feel it, touch it and listen to the soothing sounds of waves as they make their journey to shore or cascading over rocks in a woodland creek. I love flowers, with their infinite colors and shapes. I am amazed at all of the different critters attracted to the different eco-systems found…
