Before our transition to the year 2000, I knew little of the ecological devastation that was happening on Earth.

It wasn’t until I heard the "screeching wail" of a stalwart tree being uprooted from the ground that I became aware.

I was witnessing a holocaust of Nature in the park across from my house in Indianapolis.

I ran screaming out of my house to stop the man bulldozing the row of mature trees from the earth.

As I beat on his chest, pleading for him to stop, he compassionately held me as I sobbed.

He told me that the City was doing this to make way for a "cement meadow" to hold possible flood water.

They were removing whatever might deter investments in the inner-city business hub.

Thanks to our deceased brother Bruce Schuman, we can still share what is on our hearts with each other.

Bless You All!
