Leaping Over Barriers

I wrote about the sacred journey of the salmon that they are keystone species here. Salmon have to cross and leap tremendous barriers in order to reach their destination. It’s a leap of faith. This is a profile of Thelma Siglos … Continue reading →

I am Life

Have you been told to get a life?  And how do you respond to that? 

It’s an asinine statement!  How do you get a life?  My response is: 

 

I AM LIFE. 

I breathe life and I exhale life.  What I breathe out is food for the plants.
I take care of two unwanted cats and looked for the owners of cats I found.
I provided bird houses for Finches and Chickadees to raise their family.
I grew vegetables for others’ nourishment.
I planted flowering plants for birds, bees, butterflies and other winged insects. 

I AM LIFE. 

I cared for children with AIDs
I volunteered at the hospice.
I thought students with learning disabilities to read.
I raised funds for non-profit organizations.
I fostered children. 

I AM LIFE. 

I make an honest living.
I help people who are in dire need.
I support the education system.
I became a Big Sister.
I bowled for Big Brothers. 

I AM LIFE. 

I help strangers that sustained an injury.
I cleaned up old folks apartments.
I entertained the lonely dwellers in our building.
I urge people to grow anything on their balcony.
I saved life of a hummingbird, lady bug, baby turtles. 

And, then some…. 

Now, ask me again to get a life.
With all due respect, let me ask you, what kind of life do you live?
