we are quickly losing our wonderment of our connection to the world around us... It takes much effort for many people today as we have become busier, oriented towards material things and disconnected from nature... I noted you "walk a few kilometres of beautiful, wild riverbank each day". Not many people have that luxury anymore and it is very sad.

I am in Northern Vermont tonight and I can walk out my back door and see thousands of stars in the sky and the only sound is the deep silence and an occasional rustle of some creature in the woods... I cherish the nights here. This weekend I will be back at work in Yonkers and then on to Philadelphia... it takes considerable effort to maintain awareness once I get to the city...
