As we held it in our hands, the creature within warmed and squirmed. We were delighted and wrapped it tighter in our fists. The pupa began to jerk violently, in heart-stopping knocks. Who’s there? I can still feel those thumps, urgent through a muffling of spun silk and leaf urgent through the swaddling of many years, against the curve of my palm.

Every day we make decisions that affect our environment. Think about the things that you do, the products you consume and the garbage you generate. Are there any options that you can use that are less agressive for the environment? The answer is generally, yes.

I never think to find “los Jaivas” on your Site . It’s great
I have some of their albums . if you want i could share it.
Nice one! I love the Toumani Diabaté track, just bought tickets to see him next week so maybe I’ll pick up this cd too at his show, sounds really great.
It’s nice also to see Chris Abrahams here as he was my #1 (as part of The Necks) last year. Really liking this track too, but as you know, I’m a bit biased when it comes to ocean-themed music. :D
(should be Mike Cooper though)
this mix is wonderful. thanks for the reminder to be less harsh on our earth. ive been taking small steps in this direction. now i find myself doing many thing like 2nd nature. i love this site!
