Sermon on the Mountain

St. Francis is the patron saint of animals and the environment. (He was pronounced a saint in July of 1228. Do you suppose they used the word "environment" then?) He was many other things as well; interesting guy.

It's a refreshing surprise to come across such works in our ramblings. It makes me feel privileged to live where people create.

I wonder if Francis knew his words would continue to be relevant for 900 years. Maybe he hoped we'd have learned all this by now.

Boz can't read, but it doesn't matter. This stuff is instinctive to him.
