The Banter Begins

Misty and I spent today at a Botanical garden smelling fresh herbs and wandering through pines and the visit put a few things in perspective. As much as I’d like to think that some of the things I’ve created in my life will outlast me, it’s so humbling to see how living things can change the landscape of an area and grow into a huge, complex system full of things growing, crawling, swimming, and flying their way along to do what? Make a new generation of things that grow, crawl, swim, and fly? Maybe what we leave behind isn’t as important as whether we leave what we come into contact with better or worse than how we found it.
