friday five on earth.

1) Do you like Earth Day?
Yes. Yes and yes and yes.

2) Do you like the color green?
I like true greens, or, that is, the greens of nature. I like the glass greens of the ocean and the nubbly greens of molding breads and the rich polished brilliance of newly dewed grass blades and the thick greens of pines. I like the mottled greens of apples and the green of my sweetheart's eyes. I like the greens that are just one step away from sunlight.

I don't wear much green, though; I don't like 'imitation' green. I hope that makes sense.

3) Finish this sentence: The Earth is...
The (whole) Earth is home to me.

4) Pick two to four words to describe the ocean or how you feel about the ocean.
I miss it, all the time.

5) What's one thing you like to do to help the Earth?
Only one? I like to delight in it: to dance in the rain; to bask in the sun; to run booted and mittened through the snow; to crunch through leaves; to dive unhesitatingly into summer lakes; to sit quiet and still and breathing in the midst of a thrumming forest; I like to help the Earth by living it, and to celebrate this wherever I am.

What about you?
