Great Regulars: This morning I look up from the oil spill news

at our beautiful little lake miles and miles from the Gulf. My heart's sick, our hearts are all sick. And we have our own local reasons--Asian carp, for example. And the zebra mussels have cleaned out the nutrients from our lake--no food for minnows, no local crawdads left. "Was each an Eden waiting to be lost?" asks Linda Pastan in her poem.
