Last week's focus on man within nature lead to some interesting submissions that focused on a an absence of man's presence within the organic world with varying direction and focus. Enjoy.

And for those of you who have sent work or emails in the past several months I apologize for a complete lack of response. I seemed to be having a serious email hiccup that was finally fixed this morning.

Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.
