I stand inside where it is warm and watch the hummingbirds fight each other over the last drink of nectar. I can’t help but think “we won’t be so lucky to see such beauty next year.” I sit in front of my laptop with a sticker over the camera hole, safety at last! I read about how our country fights over tweets and subpoenas. A mixer of fear and comedy stirs inside, what an interesting time we live in.
As I wade through a sea of current events, I try to focus my efforts on what is important to me. My education has always been geared towards the conservation of the environment. Where my professional career has been a deconstruction of it. I love both and can’t do without either one.
