In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

Healing: Thinking of Fracking and Mother Earth
In honor of Vera Scroggins, photojournalist and documentarian, a tour de force, and a wonderful human being. I thought of her when I saw this picture.
A wonderful thought. I hope to get there someday. As one affected by gas well drilling 4 years ago, I can't get past that there are so many human beings, both government employees and buisness people, who let this go on while looking the other way. I could not harm or take advantage of another. I could not lie to another especially one looking to me for help. I have to believe there are more of "us" than "them" but if so where are they?
