Where There Used to Be a Tree, Now There’s a Puddle
There used to be more trees at the plaza in front of Eastern Market. When a couple died in the drought, instead of replanting, they removed the old tree and bricked in the space. Now there’s a puddle that evaporates instead of going into the ground and nourishing a tree in the city. Sure is a pretty puddle though.
Do you have any paved spaces under your control that could be transformed from a place of run-off into a space for plant life?

Pete Seegerji
Pete Seeger singing raghupati raghav raja ram before the Beatles went to India. The music and his influence lives on. What a gracious being.
Note: Adding “ji” to a name is both an honorific and an endearment.
A Momentary Yearning
I am having a momentary yearning that it is hard for me to imagine realizing. Given all my commitments (commitments that I treasure for the groundedness, sense of place, and community that they give me in return), I cannot quite figure out how I could fit in a long weekend in Paris before March 11, 2012.
Nonetheless, I have been enjoying this morning a fantasy of picking up and going to Paris to see the Tagore exhibit at the Petit Palais, and incidentally eating and walking and photographing and delighting in everything else Paris has to offer. I suppose I could buy the catalogue–the internet has made such things ever so easy, but it wouldn’t quite be the same.
