It's true that the more we learn, the more we realize we know...nothing. Patience, listening, and flexibility are what will help us make an impact.

Brian and I were at the beach yesterday, and we heard a simple argument escalate so quickly, that I actually felt nervous that violence would erupt. I'm sure that we have all witnessed moments like this lately. I certainly don't know the best way forward for us as neighbors and citizens of this Earth, but I do believe we all have to slow down, listen, and do a little more homework.

The autumn has been surprisingly cool here in South Florida - it definitely makes it easier to get out there, and enjoy a cleanup. Looking forward to more of that!
