This is a truly thoughtful ode to a living planet, our living planet. I spent the afternoon cycling along the mighty flooding Ottawa (when I could) to Aylmer. The beach is completely submerged in water. Wow! Thank you again for sensitivity to the phenomena we are a part of. I'm on my way out.

Fabulous, Ben. Made a VERY nice change from my most regular environmental listening...The Lorax Soundtrack (my 6 and 8-year-olds' favourite!)
