A Circadian Rhythm Resolve for the New Year
Nature can a be such a resource for us to learn our own natural rhythms. In daily life we can at times pick up the pace or rhythm of the life around us. It's natural to meet the day during life with what we have available to offer. We might have a schedule to keep and it might have a pace that varies.

The Great Bruno
By Rick Hartford Henry was getting worried. The sun set at least a half hour ago. It was dangerous for her to be out here in the field as ghosts of fog hovered over the rutted ground. Hell, it was dangerous for him to be out. But he fought the instinct to run. He just kept glancing up into the sky, watching the trees, looking for any movement.

WINTER STORM PREP; ARE YOU READY?
Regardless of where they live, nearly everyone is likely to face some severe winter weather at some point in their lives. Winter storms can range from moderate snow over a few hours to a blinding blizzard with powerful winds and drifting snow or sleet and ice. Travel could be extremely hazardous or nearly impossible. Power outages could last for days or even a week. Winter storms can have the ability to knock out heat, power, and communications to your home, sometimes for several days. Heavy snowfall, ice, and extreme cold can paralyze an entire region. You could be trapped for many days without access to food stores or water.

Winter Wishes
When the world wishes for warmer days when winter strikes, I rest. Reverence in the windowpane, I crave sanctuary by open archways, guiding me into a solstice, of solitude, deep in slumber, it is inept, to adapt. For we too are animals by nature, nurtured by colder days, we depend on heat and play, when we would only reap what we sowed, during autumn nights, if we let ourselves, sleep, instead of taking flight.

Sea Change
When I was an undergraduate student, my minor was Environmental Studies. A fitting field of study when you're attending the University of Oregon. One of my classes focused on Sustainability. We covered everything from fossil fuel usage to tiny homes, even getting to tour a community in Eugene that had a small community of tiny houses that served as a half-way home, of sorts, for individuals and families to get back on their feet after economic hardship. Truly an inspirational model that I wish we could see implemented elsewhere.

Tokens of Nature
The warm summer air is blooming with the scent of freshly disturbed soil and vibrant flowers as Abby watches her grandmother work her magic in the front yard of her homely cottage. Abby eagerly awaited her weekend visits to her grandmother's home, and adored the isolated days spent away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Grandma Rose lived up to her name, and found fulfillment in the maintenance and success of her ever-growing garden. Abby often offered her assistance, and Rose's usual kindness would briefly vanish as she swatted her granddaughter's tiny hands away. Over time, Abby discontinued taking offense to these refusals of help and began to understand that Rose was simply endlessly protective of her favourite hobby.

Become the Kanye West of Understanding Sustainability.
Ethics that go beyond the fulfilment of the basic human need are unique to every aspect of societal development. One of such aspects is the modern society's confrontation with the challenge of depleting natural resources, intense market competition and the effects of climate change; the majority of that lot chooses to ignore and proceeds to satiate their insatiable greed of consumption. Ranging from the wardrobe overflows to eating a daily diet full of microplastics—the world has familiarized itself with terms like 'ethical shopping' and 'sustainable choices' without actually understanding any of them.
