Do you remember last autumn? There were 50% more acorns than the previous year, it was insane. And we all know what happened to the squirrel population, it’s exploded, to the point that there is a flat one on nearly every road, and climbing every tree.
This year, things will be different. No acorns may mean a lot of squirrels don’t make it over the winter. The ones that do will be very strong though, perhaps be able to wrestle you to the ground!
The point of all this is that nature has a way of getting back to balance, and the more we go towards eating chemicals and animals, using up fossil fuels and taking medicines and drugs to keep going, the faster we’ll see a revolutionary change coming from nature.
If you want some help putting more nature into your life, just ask. dayogaman@gmail.com
does more or less acorns coincide with with how much snow to come this winter?
I don’t know, but there is a big article in this week’s Boston Globe (perhaps Monday or Tuesday) about it.
My feeling is that nature is increasingly making larger changes to compensate for our boneheaded moves, including:
-Cow methane and manure run-off
-Fertilizer usage
-Fossil Fuel usage
-Cloud seeding
-Nuclear testing
-Lots of other stuff
Nature will be fine. But we may not make it in the long run. Meanwhile, say goodbye to squirrels, chipmunks and owls, around here.
