OFF LEASH: On nature
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler. Past columns can be found here.
Nature has inspired many terrible poems. Tributes to trees, soliloquies to stars, paeans to posies. It's enough to make you want to stay indoors.
And yet, as the weather grows warmer, even a cynic has to be a little impressed by all the blossoming wonder. That's true even on the outskirts of a big city, where ambulances cry by and street lights obscure the stars.
Paradise isn't entirely paved, at least not yet. There is still plenty around here on which to gaze, to sniff, and to pee.
