[Xmca-l] Re: Time for a Generational Change

[Annalisa Aguilar]

The squirrel ran up the tree yet another time, straight up to the upper most branches with another nut to store away for the winter time. So many nuts in this very fertile world lay upon the forest floor that it would be impossible to gather them all. And yet, the squirrel in his expediency might forget there is more than one tree in the forest... that in another tree another squirrel is looking down watching all the other squirrels round up the nuts with the occasional chitter and spat over who's nut is whose. There will always be enough nuts to go around, even if they prove occasionally hard to crack.


Oh, but then the trees are listening and watching too, as they gauge the proper time to drop nuts.


And then the rains come, and then the snow.
