Dear Editor:

... and Liz Rog. The letter that Liz wrote about not spraying dandelions (5/14/2015), was well-timed. I had just gotten a flyer in my mailbox from All-American Turf Beauty, and I must confess that I was sorely tempted, mainly because in my front and side yards, I don’t have grass with some dandelions, I have dandelions with some grass, and the eastern three-quarters of my little backyard is mostly Creeping Charlie, with the remainder perversely growing in obscene, weed-free luxuriance at the rate of about an inch an hour. 

It can be challenging to live in a society that seems to demand we “do more” and “be more” – often with no regard for the impact our actions might have on others. In the rush of our daily routines, we can lose sight of the fact that peace is available to us in every moment. The concept of a more peaceful and mindful approach to living will be explored in the film “Peace Is Every Step,” being shown Sunday, March 9 and Wednesday, March 12, and sponsored by the Northeast Iowa Peace and Justice Center and the Decorah Zen Center.
