—"The best works by living writers on the heart of New Orleans." Miz' Remy is the author of Annie.
I have just moved back to the country. I believe there is something in us Boomers that draws us back to the land.What is our responsibility to this tiny blue planet, and how long will we keep it vital?
Two huge live oaks stand centinnel in the front yard that you come to from a lumpy, bumpy road. Across the road from us is the Global Wildlife Center, so when I get my mail, I am greeted by all sorts of our co-habitors on this planet grazing in innocence, unaware of the capabilities for destruction of their human brothers.
When dark falls here, it is a deep, deep penetrating dark that even blinks out the massive live oaks.
A rooster crows in the morning, a horse pastures on the bumpy road.
It is a good reminder that once all was not cement, city lights and parking lots. It is a good place to touch Creation. So when I read Jane Goodall's words this morning they stuck home.

Read Jerry Wenstrom's review of Loving.
Rhea and Jordan Devereaux had it all: undying devotion, a tender love, and a grand passion. And then the Vietnam War separated them. Follow the course of their love across time and space. Journey with them through the steaming jungle; dance with the Mardi Gras revelers while revolution unseats Louis XVI and protestors on the Washington Mall scream, Hell, NO. We won't Go. Sail with Laffite's pirates into Devil's Isle and rejoice as an unconditional and timeless love emerges victorious.
