Today I am Thankful for the Bee's Dance

Dance till the stars come down from the rafters.

Dear Environmental Protection Agency

It does seem odd that this is just coming up now. Also I thought a picture of smokestacks might be too depressing on this our holiday week so I picked snowflakes again. Just a little reminder of what we will be missing if we cook our planet. Tell EPA to protect our health and climate:

After more than a year of delay, the Environmental Protection Agency is now requesting public comments on whether carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping pollutants -- the primary causes of the climate crisis -- are endangering our health and our climate. Friday is the last day to voice your opinion.

Send a message about how crucial it is to reduce harmful carbon dioxide pollution and stop global warming.

In searching for the soul and romance of Thanksgiving today I found that mostly our thoughts on the day are unremarkable. Perhaps this is rooted in it being a celebration of murder and plague. Or because we're too busy eating to be thoughtful. But I dug up a few:

The delusional:

There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.
O. Henry

The rhetorical (or the one that sounds like the Journal wrote it):

Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action.
W.J. Cameron

The one about the bee:

For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The idiotic:

He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart.
J.A. Shedd

The inspiring:

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

And The Original:

Thanksgiving food is soulless.
Caroline Fidanza
