"Clarity" begins at home:

Yeah, I think I can learn a lot in my own backyard. I have a flair for the obvious and often find the answers I am seeking are very close at hand if I am open to them.

I can definitely see beauty and ugly, hot and wild, silly and funny, and strange and commonplace in my backyard.

Still would like to to Italy, though!!

Ciao.

See the leaves vs see the forest.

Exactly. Love it! In some contexts, this is a shade of a shade bioregioning, where you fall in love with the planet from where you are, getting to know your place, from bedrock to water source to cloud drifts and sun & star shine, across scale in time and from the minute to the monstrously large. Holding the where am I and who am I in the same breath. It’s the story of place, ours to tell.
