Williamsville, NY.

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect. 

     The truth is the other day I decided to take a trip with my youngest daughter. We found ourselves in Williamsville, Buffalo, New York. We were glad we found a beautiful place to stay, and take some time to pause from the city life. Similar to my trips in Houston, Texas, I was content to be among the local community, and to understand more about the culture and way of life. During this trip I was not able to get out and about as much as I would have liked to, because of the snowy weather. However, the landscapes were very beautiful. I saw vast lands, ranches, and farms, with shopping plaza's and residential areas. Whilst I wondered how people sustained themselves, I realized that there must be sustenance because people are living and surviving here. So whilst I thought about the importance of job creation, the economy, and growth of the community, I also thought about the preservation of lands and local history. Whilst we seek economic growth, we must also support local farmers, and agriculture. Not everyone will pursue this path, but farmers or anyone who is involved with agriculture make a valuable contribution, to the foods that are grown and consumed. They are integral to local culture, heritage, and also sites for tourist attractions. Economic growth, job creation is good, but lets also remember the value of agriculture, and the raw producers who rely on the land and environment for sustenance. A healthy future is that which includes the health, well-being, protection of human beings, their survival, habitats, and environments, which are our vital sources for cultivating human nutrition.
