Viridorari Has Arrived! (Informational Post)

Viridorari Has Arrived!

Written March 14th, 2013

The name Viridorari, meaning "to become green" in Latin, was voted as the name of my new environmental blog. Thank you to everyone who brainstormed names, along with those of you that came out to vote! I really appreciate the support and the positive reception I have received about my new endeavor!

Tomorrow, my blog will kick off with its first post, which will be up by 6pm! Saturday will bring the first Green Challenge to your computer screens, also by 6pm. The blog's web address is viridorari.blogspot.com 

I have set up a new email specifically for Viridorari- you can contact me with questions, comments, concerns, and ideas at viridorari@yahoo.com This is also the place to go if you want to contact me about becoming one of my weekly guest writers!

I'm so happy that this is about to take off, and I can't wait to help myself and all of you become healthier human beings, for our benefit, for the benefit of those around us, and for the benefit of the environment!  

See you tomorrow!

Sincerely,

Faith

Raise Your Voice
The Human and the Tree

Written February 1st, 2012

I walk upon this ground

I rise up from it

I am small in these woodlands

I am the tallest being around

I cannot move you, mighty beast

Yes, for I am rooted to this ground

But I can make you fall,

For I start the chainsaw

And I feel its merciless bite

The chainsaw was made for me

I kill you for material things

I provide you with life-giving air

I create to destroy

I do not like to share

I live a peaceful life

My purpose is to provide for myself and others

I forget

I remember

That I am not the only one on this earth.

Raise Your Voice

The Simple Fact

Written May 29th, 2011

Here is the wolf

Treveling at a steady pace

On silent lithe paws

Tireless miles to go today

Across the plains

And beneath the shadows of pines

She will cover great distance

Then go all the way back

She has hungry mouths to feed

Uknown to the untrained eye

A huntress of deadly beauty

A thick coat of silken fur

Fateful teeth and a soothing tongue

Contained in one powerful jaw

Hear her sing at night

Her voice so stunning and inviting

Even the moon stops to listen

And she sets the stars to dance
