Tragedy Befalling Our Nations Wild Horses

by Gailstrail on January 7, 2010

Perhaps I have too tender a heart; my eyes burn and my heart aches so much that I have to take a few minutes to let the overwhelming tragedy befalling our nations wild horses reseed before I can continue. “This week’s “gather” of some 2,500 wild horses from Nevada’s Calico Mountains marked the Bureau of [...]

Ineffable Hunger: Nature a Daily Fix

by Gailstrail on April 22, 2009

I listened as the teacher said to the young boy. “We each have a destiny; full filing this destiny is our purpose.” Do you understand what this teacher meant? Are you on the road to full filing your destiny? Or, has the road become dark and your path uncertain? Have you reached what seems to [...]

Responsibility to our Community is my ‘civic duty’; your ‘civic duty’. It is each person’s responsibility to understand the social, economic, cultural and environmental issues which face their community; and be involved at some level to meet those responsibilities.

No industry or government should be built by coning its citizens. And yet, we let banks, industry and government squelch our ineffable spirit; succumb to their marketing and believe its entertainment; buy whatever they’re selling to feel good and to feel good about ourselves…and we are so full of ourself; we think we have choices.

Great Big Love: Sweeping Across the Sky

by Gailstrail on August 7, 2008

“I like my life just fine.” I definitely agree. This is a line from Bruce Cockburn’s Great Big Love Sweeping Across the Sky. I spent the day, about five hours, helping my friends get their garage organized for a ‘moving sale’. While Pieper (my Golden Retriever) couldn’t quite grasp the whole idea and was none [...]
