I grew up on a farm, made forts in the woods, played in a creek. The day of the family farm is sadly gone, but I bought wooded property in the country so my daughter and I could walk the woods and play in the creek. She and her husband now live in woods beside a river. In a couple of years my new granddaughter will be big enough to begin the explore the abundant nature around her. I feel very good about that.

That sounds wonderful, Howard. I grew up much like that, with creeks and lakes and pine forests, and know it shaped my life and love of nature. Your daughter is blessed to have you as her father.

There is the "unscripted" and adapting to the moments, for example, trees and drastic changes in weather, yet also the scripted, as, for example, the hyacinths that emerge in spring have their script written, so to speak, in their bulbs and roots. I may have shared this before, yet if so, imho worth it again "We Are Shapes of the Earth" John Trudell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6tP23oCes&list=RDPK6tP23oCes&start_radio=1

understandable, you were focusing on the "wild" aspect :)
