I am making a shift in MENUPAUSE to a more environmental focus on climate change, global warning (not just warming) and the importance of listening to Mother Nature’s cry of help because we are killing the planet. My vegetarian recipes are part of this, since eating lower on the food chain is one great way to lower our carbon footprint. I hope you will continue to read my postings and join as part of my green team (see below). Finally, I believe that the health of the planet (macrocosum) and the health of our individual bodies bodies (microcosum) are all part of the greater good for global survival.

Day after day during COVID, my routine rarely alters:
Keep calm, healthy & alert; my resolve never falters.
Making the bed, doing laundry, my thoughts ever roam.
Is this new way of living good for our global home?
Wearing a mask, shopping at dawn, not eating outâ
Is this the new norm everyone is thinking about?
The flu in 1918 has a similar resemblance: quite eerie.
Will we ever again feel safe, in practice and in theory?
Day after day, I think a lot about what this new life is worth?
Is COVID telling us to clean up our shared home: Mother Earth?
Are the severe storms, floods, & greenhouse gases a global warning
to scale down our lives, take stock of our actions, every morning?
If so, then we need to do all in our power every, single day
to clean up our ailing planet, everyone in his or her own way.
Reuse/Reduce/Recycle is a triple, important conviction
to save us all from dying: the human raceâs extinction!
Rachel Carsonâs Silent Spring is coming to deadly fruition.
We donât need a crystal ball; just use your natural intuition.
If we take from the planet more than we give,
soon everything will die and no one will live.
I have become an environmental activist now,
Creating a green team to see what and how
we can do to save the planet & also all* our lives.
I see no other choice to a path that says: âSURVIVE.â
I feel a small revolution stirring in my soul
and my green team project is now a major goal.
so join me if you wish to be part of this quiet revolution.
REUSE/REDUCE/RECYCLE and reach a safe solution.
*whatever your color, creed, political persuasion, or financial & social status
