i think the most indelible memory i have of that spring in paradise valley is a justice snow and silence had dominated the design for winter song water and the sound of watertown and in the spring the falls had broken through the snow with them variously free spring brings joy full awakening everything happens at once everything is in a hurry i do not believe in miracles but they were happening all around us the unborn child in which we had already accepted as a member of the family a lovely alpine flowers which it driven by such an approach to blossom that they push their buttons up through the snow at the edge of the snow banks and actually been before the snow has melted away these things are all natural and familiar but they were very close enough for us to us that was

only one where a marvelous natural order and we too felt very much apart after the winter and i got the job of daily le monde i think a fourteen matches or less action there is turning over certain didn't think of danger and having gotten a page bodden and three and fortunately i never wrestled with the idea the last band on a weekend edition's open literally a tumbledown to devil's don't have left a few scares on those trees myself thank you

mr pj what thank you after ten years mr grenier floyd decided to expand his understanding of plants of the land to creatures of the sea in his studies took him to the san juan islands i don't know of any other place in the world where you play and has such terrible violence and so interesting to me a biologist natural maturity for his master's thesis

on nonviolence and fragmented to take a lot of movies that this was thirty years before christo and even before we didn't even underwater picture heard on the road what i called a underwater observation post a country show me weighted down with pork lives inside a human infant up and down the ladder asia and they've been implanting them a rather you know it's a i think the first among the verge renee we

will win barnacle is a really these two of putin's to have any chance of advancement for simplicity after a brief use during which it really isn't a footloose and fancy free manner he suddenly seeks out a place of safety doozies head to the rock and bills himself a windowless fought for what you can ever hope to escape a typical cramp on the other hand is able to move about but it's only sounded defensive for real imaginative gifts otherwise his life might be unbearable christians

in this scene rodrigues in the synthesis of sniffing the ground appeared to be covered by falling events but when we look closer we found a number of fascinating shade telling the plants between the moss covered locks was the orchid current which grew upon the fungus mathematician and finds enough and forties as with anthony the manufacturing of its own and so here we find the evidence of community and when organisms need for another even among the plants there was this leaning utah which is good for all all those sunlight coming through those tall

trees reminds me of razor blade you see sometimes you have a tall windows of european disunity nico we're sinking of the day of the whole community of letters a cooperative organism a full load for actual human beings are very least inclined to be a cooperative during the second world war when the japanese attacked pearl harbor and the united states government rounded up japanese citizens in this country to put them in internment camps floyd cred he's teaching at university to work full time trying to ease their dislocation and distress most of them or second generation had never been to japan women couldn't

even speak japanese language and still they weren't branded those and then that nineteen forty five when they were able to come back to the west coast so there was an even bigger job of helping them reestablish themselves they'd lost their homes have lost their land there was a great deal of resistance or is some actual violence and a great deal of verbal violence against them against the shooting have the show kojak lovers you were trying to help them someone said you know we ought to go out on the campus and pick up those yellow bellied passengers out there who are helping the japanese being a pacifist was not a unified twenty four years earlier during world war one he was a conscientious objector went to france as a stretcher bearer stretcher bearers

in and those to help them in the field were often very much more in hazard than the year generals were and the show that was so embarrassed the bigger the bombing in prayer service knocked down a couple of those hbo tv shows within a few years real job there was reconstruction and relief they were building houses for refugees french people have been caught by and the german lines their ear which brain sure he stays with your pictures like that which includes ever done after the fighting are over a shared reminders of those years church unfortunately have been repeated on but wars of course continued

and during the second world war when floyd red of the bombing of hiroshima he decided to go to japan to build toward the houses and raise money by soliciting friends on his christmas card list any work with both japanese and american volunteers under the supervision of japanese architects a way of saying that language to share in the hilton is suffering in a way that could be understood i was concerned that we might be met with hostility instead the newspapers and the television davis's sympathetic publicity and people met us with open arms and appreciation floyd went to korea during the korean war in nineteen fifty two and did relief work under the auspices of the united nations it feels good to be able to help someone sometimes it's it feels

bad i've been in situations in korea where you decided to weather channel live du died because you had to decide who you could feed know you couldn't feed the village where we were working union was bombed by americans while we were there some local haunted the idea that there were north korean infiltrators in this village you know and the film scores of people and burned most of the village they were simply blown to pieces the children now grown roots was able to accompany floyd to korea and they brought back several orphaned children to the united states to be adopted by one of their own children and by several other families because twins were born to their daughter mary gordon herbie ashley and their children and grandchildren about different cultures florida

moves were proud to have a mixture of racism and their grand tragedy but was never knew her grandchildren and she died in nineteen sixty nine again fifteen twenty and overshoot when his dad and the thing i regret most right now is the roots who was a wonderful person and wonderful mother isn't here to enjoy these beautiful children for children fifteen grandchildren and another fifteen great grandchildren living alone is difficult i think they were made to live together in an elevator

and it was lonely and drew who has died after living alone fly decided to renew his friendship with tony co hosted with whom he had worked in houston the twenty two years before he went to tokyo and persuaded to me go to marry him and in nineteen seventy they were married in paris almost seventy four oakland and she was younger of course she's no substitute for issues just a very definite addition to recruit speech good english but her english language doesn't always mean the same and saying we've really don't understand each other and i don't blame her for being provoked we mentioned a brilliant at that

i've always been interested in our i've never been very good at it i have illustrated several of my own books i get away with that simply because illustrations by the author are tolerated by editors now i'm doing kind of carving and modeling and i've been doing birds and dolphins and for sure the plan things like as fighter approached his nineteenth birthday he

finally received recognition for all those things he had done japan gave him two medals the prestigious order of a secret treasure an honorary citizen of hiroshima both he and the norwegian actress liv ullmann were honored by tufts university was a doctor a few minutes and then floyd was completely surprised with a call from him she was no we're asking him to come to their city to be the first of two americans to participate in the tea ceremony an annual event which marks the dropping of the atom bomb on august six nineteen forty five before leaving seattle floyd picked up a thousand paper cranes which had become an emblem for peace in japan the story of the cranes involves a young girl dying of leukemia in hiroshima and radiation from the embargo she believed if she folded the thousand cranes symbolic of long life she rested but as she worked on her nine hundred sixty four screened sheet former peace corps workers are concerned citizens in seattle had just initiated a project using a

crane says please for peace and lloyd was asked to place one statue in hiroshima which commemorates all the children who dat arms view of the possible worlds worst possible is probable we could get lonely as nations as we get along the states that would be friction that they wouldn't be war who wouldn't kill each other words of course the point they were trying to leverage government coming forward until the children the unfolding paper cranes will make friends and friends will not make more question it isn't really really are

they've done in rebuilding the city that's till i see it in my mind as it was after the bomb or how it's hard to conceive of long as those made a day fifty year honored times were destructive than those used in hiroshima nagasaki her a distortion is almost unbearable the house and gardens brazil open space in the center of the city but it was very near ground zero and so everything was flattened interesting that when burned was burned it was the nearest water and show people came in threw themselves and their children into this fish

and until this punishing full of bodies that you couldn't see the water must have been a german say and three says seuss to say i mean

the place beyond thinking where i don't even feel the hurt and the suffering of this reminds us of which we shouldn't forget which is terrible to remember justin all may come to the place where the whole world is beyond thinking beyond deliberating even beyond negotiating and come to the place where they only feel the burden of suffering this sort of thing would bring upon the world if it should never happen again the pro life issue of emotion nations

i am fearful for the short run the next twenty fifty even a hundred years perhaps and floyd was taken by members of city government to the shalom peace park where he had built houses thirty six years before i was specially happy to meet the people who were so friendly and so warm so expressive their appreciation and i'm glad to see that clattering stoller and the garden is filled with huge burden lee
