We haven't travelled, except to visit our kids, who are in different time zones, since the pandemic. Thinking about going to Rome in the spring, but now feeling a little guilty re the carbon footprint. But...I think we'll try to make it happen anyway. Luckily, we live in a great place to explore some close in treasures, so haven't really missed the travel too much. Just missed the whole cultural aspect, which can't be reproduced as well, locally. Ciao.
On Christmas Eve, I invited friend Morton from Norway, an actor and dancer, for a walk in Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve. Morton goes for frequent walks/runs/dances through the forests near Oslo. "Great-I love to meet a new forest!" Not "see" a new forest, meet it. So we met a new forest, listened to it, touched it, breathed and smelled it. We talked about life in the canopy of the redwood forest, and the internet of life beneath our feet linking trees and ferns and moss and lichen and shrubs. In small and intimate ways, we changed the forest, and it changed us.
