Susan Coleman: The story alone of Eunice Newton Foote is delightful and illuminating, other than the censorship of women in the 19th century.

Also:

"The real solution (to our rapidly warming planet and related crises) is to create more life on earth because the biosphere creates the atmosphere. . . . What does more look like? Pure water, clean food, vibrant cultures, honored people, ancient forests, human health, equity, education, abundant fisheries, wildness, quiet green cities, rich soil, living wages, and dignified work.

"Paul Hawken"

Your column today is one of my best readings, which I both restack and preserve for future meditation.

We said and very well reasoned.

And congratulations to your asparagus fern caregiver, who sustains and propagates life like Mother Gaia.

Who cannot LOVE, absolutely LOVE Mother Gaia!
