: What can people do to help monarchs recover?
Baum: To recover, monarchs will need an abundance of milkweeds and nectar sources. We need to get more milkweed and nectar plants in the ground, and we all need to contribute to this effort.
More information about the low population numbers can be found on the Monarch watch website

Thought of every one with this
The monkey mind, swinging from branch to branch, thought to thought fries to avoid the root of the problem and the issue. Looking for its next fruit it seeks instant pleasure and gratification not recognizing long term gain. The monkey mind can keep us in a difficult situation. Let’s work to unleash our monk mindset and our inner peace and calm that we all have inside of us. From Think Like A Monk - get your copy www.thinklikeamonkbook.com

A last word on the corona virus (covid-19). Paul Lam, an internationally respected Tai Chi teacher reminds us this week in his regular newsletter that along with good practices of hygiene, the immune system is what finally keeps us well. That is exactly what Tai Chi seeks to address with its gentle movements and mindful breathing.
