It's Time to Get Ourselves Back to the Garden

I'm far from new-agey, and I'm anything but hippie...but I have made a New Year's Resolution to get my family outside and into nature more. God has blessed us with a beautiful home, and we spend countless, priceless, hours there...enjoying time, and enjoying each other. But He's also blessed us with life in a paradise, and it's a goal of mine to get the whole family out of the house and into the island even more this year.

Then can I walk beside you?

I have come here to lose the smog,

And I feel to be a cog in something turning.

Well mabye it is the time of year,

Or maybe it's the time of man...

but we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.

-Woodstock, Joni Mitchell
