It belongs to all off us
I’m not against what we call progress, but sometimes it is uncontrolled and sometimes I don’t understand why more is better. I must admit that I have an overwhelming sense when I enter and walk through a home that I can’t even figure out where I am after 3 turns and am awed at the elegance after all the personal touches are bedecked. But I have to say that my bq.naturebq. walks for the last 15 years through the countryside—smelling the ‘fertilizer’ for the new round of corn and gazing on the vastness of a field speckled with milking cows provides an more overwhelming sense of belonging to something bigger than the largest homes that we are now building. They have cropped up on my commute home and nearer my office, but not until they sprung up like the weeds choking out the wildflowers in my own neighborhood did a tear spring to my eye. The land isn’t and never was mine, but we all own the care and development of the world around us. I will miss the rolling hills on that portion of my travels, but still experience the joys of a country life while working in a high tech job. I moved into an existing home 19 years ago and will always treasure and continue to treasure the beauty of nature that manmade buildings will never surpass!
