I don't think many people stop to think how fragile the whole global food/water system is. But I have thought about it often.

I read recently that the PLANET has 60 years of arable soil left for planting. This terrifies me.

I love the Tree Sisters, who are planting trees (and thus helping water) all over the world. Love your poem's message that we can each walk into the fields, the forest or the beach and do what we can to clean and mend. Truly that is the way forward.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926508656571639801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-48124692472173652312018-05-09T19:18:06.524-04:002018-05-09T19:18:06.524-04:00Respect yes indeed as we manage our planet Earth
