Red & gold
I need that. I need a reminder that life goes on.
I need to know that despite human foolishness and human stuborness, there is still beauty in the World.
I need to know that we can’t screw it up too bad.
I need to know that Gaia still flourishes.
These trees here are not native to my desert, but they’ve been here for decades.
Red and gold leaves, touching my spirit.
I think it’s time to go the the Kaibab. I need to hear the aspen trees there whisper one last time before winter.
And because you’ve been especially good, here’s a picture I found on the ‘net. Now you know what I am talking about.
