This past week has seen many things unfold. I see an exclamation point on the erosion of democracy as evidenced in Wisconsin; a question mark on the benefits of nuclear power as Japan is absolutely and tragically devastated; and a period on winter as our garden begins to blossom.Wrapping up this quarter I feel a lighter load than most winter's generally bring. In between editing papers and prepping for next term I have been giving time to having spirited debates over the utility of unions and corporate personhood and pouring over the daily news local and international.
When it all seems like too much, I've walked out into the garden. Perhaps things go easier with flowers involved?
