Comments on: What I did and thought, Earth Day 2008 http://wilderness.motleyvision.org/2009/what-i-did-and-thought-earth-day-2008/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:15:15 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Patricia http://wilderness.motleyvision.org/2009/what-i-did-and-thought-earth-day-2008/comment-page-1/#comment-267 Patricia Thu, 23 Apr 2009 03:48:53 +0000 http://wilderness.motleyvision.org/?p=716#comment-267 Thank you, Ruth, for your kind words and wishes. The day was in most ways too short, much was left undone, but I did manage to make some effort to mark the occasion. Of course, the way my household works, a day of celebration can stretch into a week. I've said this elsewhere, but by way of responding to your comment about putting your thoughts into words: language is an environment as much any other living system, a field of action. What we do in language affects the condition of the world as much as any other action we take. I try to be mindful of this. I don't always succeed, but it does open up possibilities to do better if I take care. Thank you, Ruth, for your kind words and wishes.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I find that I think the way you do, but have difficulty putting my thoughts into words the way you do. Beautiful. I wish you another earth day as wondrous as the last. You have such a lovely mind, Patricia. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
