You know the kids song
"..and they all go marching
down, to the woods,
to get out of the rain
BOOM BOOM BOOM"
Problem is?
it's raining death,
and there are
no more woods
to hide in
because we've
destroyed
all the woods.
And yet the ants
march.

(sad sigh) Also reminded me of the Dave Matthews song "Ants Go Marching", though a much different song altogether! (sad sigh) I am relieved the Arctic Wilderness Refuge oil drilling proposal was droppedm hopefully it can hang on for years to come as I am praying for many of our other own forests! (big hugggsssssss) This is a very heartwrenching write, dearest friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Kacy, I haven't heard this song but the tune is the same.  We are way overdue for a quality paradigm shift...
