The folks over at Relevant Magazine posted this (long for a) granola bar commercial this morning.  It’s the heaviest granola bar commercial I’ve ever seen.  Check it out.

Last week while in Tennessee, I got to be “back out in nature” some.  There’s something to be said for junebugs and lightning bugs and squirrels and deer and things that grow and live that are beyond your knowledge.  It takes on forms particular to locale, of course.  In Hawaii it’s found in hiking and snorkeling and being on the lookout for dolphins and whales as you watch the water.  All of it is rooted, though, in some sense of wonder.

I’ve been dabbling with a couple of more recent Wendell Berry essay collections, and I’m always impressed with his ability to articulate the significance of the created world and the finesse required in knowing how to treat it well.  Beyond an appeal to tradition or nostalgia, this video definitely hints at something we should be careful of letting slip by.  I need to make sure and show this to my students.
