- Wild horses. Just the fact that they used to run through fields and forests like bears and deer. That was their whole existence. Now they’re all domesticated, with few exceptions. (The ratio of domesticated to wild horses is 100 to 1.
- That we don’t have plaques on every house denoting what year it was built. I want to know the history. A cabin in the boonies should have a plaque just like colonial homes in historic districts. Knowing when something was built makes it easier to understand design, materials, who built it. I just need to know.
- Creating clothes made of polyester, nylon, acrylic–plastic, basically–when we have natural fibers. Synthetic fibers are not biodegradable, and they take more energy to make.
- Collecting things that serve no purpose. One can read and reread books from their collection, wear every piece of jewelry they own, and drink from mugs that take up too many shelves in their kitchen; but what do you do with your stamps, rocks, and Zippo lighters that you’ll never refill?
- That animals appreciate a well-shaded area as much as humans do. As I write this on the front porch, I have two dogs and a cat with me. The dogs are watching the birds, the breeze shifting their fur, while my cat is napping with her big belly exposed, completely unaware of the dangers of the world.
- What Native Americans–not yet called by that name–were doing during the time of Jesus. I’ve done a lot of research on this but still don’t feel I will ever comprehend the dispersion of people and all their differences.
