The world is now a place full of hate and prejudices. How did we slide so quickly into thinking that new comers to our country are not as good as we are? These people are looking for a better life. A life without war, brutality, and hunger. Our country was made of people looking for a better life, a better opportunity for their children, and freedom to speak out against tyranny. America has always been a blend of many cultures that have blended together over the decades into one strong country.

I wish that we could educate our people to be less consumer oriented and be more directed to the joys of nature around us all.

Sailing around Norway on one of its many mail boats was a thrill of a life time. I have always found a comfort of strange sorts being above the Arctic circle. Up north there is NO Big Box Stores, Cell phones don't work, Northern People experience Nature in her full beauty. They don't try to change her. They are kind to nature. They respect nature. They work with nature. Life can be harsh in this barren,cold world. Summer is a time to celebrate life, nature, and joy.

People in Norway enjoy the quiet solitude of nature. American's are so busy talking on our cell phones, we are so self absorbed that we never think about nature. We do not honor its beauty. We do not protect its scenery. We could do well to learn a few lessons from these Northern neighbors.
