My annual post decrying the influence of St. Patrick in Ireland. The legend is that he brought Christianity to the country replacing, among other beliefs, our tree worship.
If I had to believe in a God, I'd take Spinoza as my guide and find him/her made manifest in nature.

The largely forgotten Howard Baker (1905-90) keeps his finger in the wind as a soon-to-be-global catastrophe unfolds far from US shores. The blossom burning in the sap bursts out in due course.
