Blog: Forest Forever
POST: There’s been a lot of talk lately about cutting down the Sequoia Nature Preserve to make a neighborhood park. The space would include a playground, ball field, picnic area, and soccer field. My feeling is, what about the forest? The Sequoia Nature Preserve is one of the most beautiful places. I’ve spent my childhood exploring it. I can’t imagine the trees being cut down or life without it. The local wildlife would suffer too. Would you really want to destroy the natural habitat of so many animals all for a park?
COMMENT:
We need to encourage kids to get more exercise. New sports facilities would inspire kids to get outside more and get moving. I’m all for it.
RESPONSE:
Exercise is good, no doubt about that, but you don’t need it from sports facilities or team sports. The Sequoia Nature Preserve has miles of paths where people walk, even jog. And when kids are walking in the forest, they area also breathing cleaner air and the surroundings are peaceful—it’s a healthy environment for people to get exercise and just get away from city life.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
