Maybe that's an e-poetry journal?)<br /><br />Learning the names of the plants in our "land lab" is one of my main goals for Environmental Club.

I am so glad to note that you also do yoga! I do sivananda yoga on saturdays, and I am also thankful for that energizing body ache and quiet and stillness that those 90 minutes bring. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-55703597998705989492012-11-23T22:43:33.283-05:002012-11-23T22:43:33.283-05:00"Yet the stones remain less real to those who..."Yet the stones remain less real to those who cannot name them."

The opening lines describing the leaves are what strikes me today, when only a few leaves remain on our trees.
