\"150426_dandelion_catepillar2b_600\"<\/a>You have a relationship with nature. And you have a relationship with many people. You may have a special relationship with a special person and one day\u00a0the two of you\u00a0might get married.<\/p>\n

But you can divorce a person.\u00a0You cannot divorce nature. So it’s\u00a0good to get along with nature as best you can. You’ll be together to the end. With nature, there are no exceptions.<\/p>\n

\"150428_purple_ditch_flower1_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s best to get along with the person you marry, too,\u00a0and maybe you’ll be together for your entire lifetime\u00a0. . . but truth compels me to tell you that marriages don’t always last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

But, I repeat, your marriage with nature will. So take it seriously, by which I mean cherish<\/em> it.<\/p>\n

\"150426_white_roses_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yeah, here<\/em>, in the neighborhood, along this street\u00a0. . .<\/p>\n

\"150427_pink_daisies_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . now<\/em>,\u00a0around and about on your\u00a0bicycle\u00a0. . .<\/p>\n

\"150427_shiny_bug_weeds2_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . wherever, even among the weeds, the two of you, together always.<\/p>\n

\"150428_dandelion_go_slow_sign_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Obey the “signs,” especially among the weeds: Go Slow! Look!<\/p>\n

\"150428_purple_ditch_flower2_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yeah, here<\/em> in this ditch . . .<\/p>\n

\"150428_pink_weed1_600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . now<\/em>, wherever, and with whomever—even\u00a0<\/em>with the\u00a0weeds,<\/p>\n

\"150428_pink_weed_bee_450\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . always<\/em> together.<\/p>\n
