Nature Nurture

Thanks Kevin-that is ever so true.

There has just been a discussion in the media about our compulsion to rid our gardens and driveways of so-called "weeds" (flowers in the wrong place), often involving chemicals which are dangerous to both wildlife, and ultimately, to humans.

Much of the advertising hysteria about "weeding" seems to be most virulent around the onset of spring and summer, driven of course by the chemical and mechanical implement manufacturers' need for profit, which, as in many other matters, overides all other considerations: "Follow the money"-as they say.

"Nurture nature if you can":
More wise words from Kevin Tan!

Thanks Hélène, Manish and everyone else. Those are really nice and uplifting words. Proud and honoured to be part of this community.

That's very true, Kevin. I completely agree with this. This is sounds like an "environmental" or "nature" slogan, which is very effective.
Thank you.

So true, nature nurtures. Even the smallest weed blowing in the wind can uplift the mind. I like the simplicity of this poem, while carrying a strong message to nurture nature as much as we can.
