April 22, 2018 — Haiku 22

Happy Earth Day, everyone.
(Also, every day is earth day.)

Some assignments, meant lovingly of course:

Go outside. Hike. Ride a bike. Hang a hammock. Take your dog. Take a picnic.

Read books about going outside. I know — read some of my books! (In the Canyon, All the World, Another Way to Climb a Tree, Kate, Who Tamed the Wind — I really like going outside and writing books about going outside.)

Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle.

Read this fascinating article about carbon farming (that just so happens to feature children’s author Peggy Rathman.

And then go outside again. Seriously.

Today is Earth Day
I press my hands to the ground
feel this life-green song

    I did go outside! And set up the drip system for the fruit trees, which is less fun than riding a bike… but STILL!

      I thought so too! I think we should be willing to try anything at this point…
