I've always been one to "vote with my feet". Makes me doubly glad that I went through the messy job this fall of processing black walnuts. Wish we'd have known about this years before, maybe enough of us could've made a difference.Sandy J.

My response is that nature can give and take away, but the willful over-consumption by mankind is another story. If the over-consumption is a part of natural events, then I hope nature corrects it soon before we cause more extinctions of species ithat are more in harmony with other living creatures.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975493849986519152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-91881691068774029402011-10-26T03:21:21.839-05:002011-10-26T03:21:21.839-05:00Thanks for writing.

She has some litanies for mourning extinctions, part of her 'Work that reconnects'. I agree with her that I need to allow myself to feel grief about this predicament, in order to stay connected to myself. Staying connected to the feelings can become a source of strength, if I can bear it. We can encourage each other to stay connected, allow ourselves to feel.Alice Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16267449289432878102noreply@blogger.com
