good samaritans

today was a day where we woke up and without words decided we were going to do good for the earth, and fellow earthlings. We began by taking care of some old business by phone and computer, no running around and using up gas. then we took a big donation of books to a man in beverly (not a man named beverly) for the men's prison in middleton... reduce reuse. then we saved a harliquin great dane from certain disaster as it ran playfully away from its person, with a greenie (aptly named dog treat). then we reduced the amount of litter on the beach in rockport by collecting sea glass to make into beautiful art. not bad for a tuesday in february. on our way home we saw beautiful sunbeams shining through the clouds, and for a split second i remembered my mom saying "it's beauty like this that makes me believe in god." i'm thinking it's mother nature and science, but we all need something to believe in.
