Recently, I came across some splendid nature videos on YouTube. It was here I found NaturesFairy’s channel. One such video titled, ( My favorite thing to do every spring is to go out searching for Wood Frogs) is something we often do in our area as well . Earth is four-and-a-half-billion-years-old. There’s been life on it for nearly that long, 3.8 billion years. Today, a telephone pole was knocked down by a motorist in my neighborhood. The consequence, no electricity. Accordingly, I opened the shades to bring a full spectrum and dynamic light into the room to read by. I have read The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert, (Massachusetts) several times. NaturesFairy video, directs me to reference it once again on the topic of Frogs. Amphibians in general. (read the first chapter) Helen Keller has said that modern life has removed us too far from a direct contact with nature. A quotation I happen to be in agreement with. Are we are witnessing a similar mass extinction event happening in the geologic blink of an eye as Kolbert writes in The Sixth Extinction? I judge we will be ok, or at least the planet will. It’s nice to see someone be concerned about our natural world and our diverse natural science and NaturesFairy’s videos are up to the task.

Our thoughts, visions and fantasies have a physical reality. A thought is made of hundreds of electrochemical impulses.
