The snowbirds come to Florida and walk the beach, putter in the shops, and eat too much. This January we joined the flock to go to Melbourne, forty miles south of [...]]]></description>

The first involves his trans-Atlantic collaboration with my god-daughter Anja Decke to put on a multi-lingual version of his ecology musical for children, “Animal Party.” Anja’s father, Gerd Decke, is a long-time friend of fifty years who opened the door for me to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanksgiving Day has always been my favorite holiday, with its simple focus on a gathering of family, friends, and sometimes strangers for a feast to celebrate God’s abundance. Like the good deed that goes not unpunished it is now engulfed in violent gridiron sports, an obscene scramble for merchandise gnawing at its shrinking stage. As [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The earthquake and tsunami that devastated Sendai, Japan, last March continues to reverberate in our minds and hearts, just as the painful task of recovery continues for the Japanese people. On World Communion Day this October, we remembered this suffering and struggle for restoration in solidarity with the people of Japan. My wife Sylvia created [...]]]></description>

Our son Eric, who has lived in the New York area for some 25 years, lost his house near Danbury, Connecticut, to a large oak tree that split it in half during a violent tornadic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to recommendations from two friends, I have been enjoying the writings of Barry Lopez and William Bryant Logan. North Carolina poet Kay Byer, after hearing about the ecological framework of Red Clay, Blood River, suggested I read Lopez’s collection, Vintage Lopez. I then went on to his About This Life, a collection of essays. [...]]]></description>

Some might think it ironic that this awesome testimony to human ingenuity and aspiration would shelter and safeguard an abundance of the natural, from alligators to snowy egrets. One aims for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All our careful plans and fervent hopes are devastated by one brief shudder in earth’s crust. In the face of such appalling suffering and destruction, an offering of words seems an obscene gesture. Yet words must come, not only to spurn on our action, but to reconstruct the world of meaning which a cataclysm threatens. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bishop John Shelby Spong, as you blogees may remember, was with us for a most stimulating and engaging weekend in September. His lectures were based on his latest (and he says last!) book, Eternal Life: A New Vision (Harper, 2009). I have finally had a chance to read it fairly carefully. Written in his own [...]]]></description>
