SELAH / Lecture at UT

Have you ever been in the presence of someone that makes you feel if the world had more people like this you'd think the world is a good place?  A person you so admire for taking the journey he took and then  shared it with you that you want to kiss and hug him and say "thank-you" a million times?  Well today our lecturer was just that man.  David Bamberger, 83y.o. (and so cute) the land owner and steward of the largest habitat restoration  in Texas called SELAH, a Hebrew word meaning stop, look, reflect.  5500 acres of the "worst property in Texas" as his land reviewer told him in 1969 when he bought the land.  And today through his low cost and no cost conservation practices he showed us slides of the most beautiful Hill Country land.  Lush with grasses, waterways, creeks, lakes, animals of all sorts and centers to teach other people how to love our earth, plant the right natural habitat seeds, vegetation, trees,and  grass.    I loved listening to this warm, funny and smart man who has worked with young Texas A&M graduates who love this earth as much as he does.  No politics here (we all know Aggies are conservative).  But regardless of politics being with people who care about our planet is inspiring and up-lifting and the very best way to show concern for the human predicament.   Amen!
