Hi, Ray Katz. Thanks for responding. In fact, I do agree with what you’ve said. And yes, “even though the pool doesn’t care, we should clean up our mess…”

As a Buddhist and all-around concerned citizen on this planet, I am totally aligned with the Indigenous directive to act in the best interest of the next 7 generations. So I look for ways to “live lightly” on this planet. But I am a member of society and I drive a gas-guzzling car and cook with a gas stove so by no means am I perfect. In fact, these are opportunities for me to work on. And there are a LOT more.

Be well and continue to care. And treat yourself and others well. That’s how we get through this mess. Or we don’t.

Best,

Rich
