Inexplicable Ways

Humbly building the universe

  • Song of the Builders

    On a summer morning
    I sat down
    on a hillside
    to think about God--
    a worthy pastime
    Near me, I saw
    a single cricket;
    it was moving the grains of the hillside
    this way and that way
    How great was its energy
    how humble its effort
    Let us hope
    it will always be like this
    each of us going on
    in our inexplicable ways
    building the universe.

And now a word from our sponsor

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on July 26, 2008

Well, not quite–although if any companies out there would like to sponsor a family vaca…  

Really, I wanted to give kudos to our carefully selected chemical-free sunscreen.  I am super impressed by the way it performed on this vacation.  We spent full days on the beach; Norah rolling in the sand and laying in the surf.  We only applied sunscreen once before leaving our room and not an inch of ourskin was sunburned (except the parts we forgot to put sunscreen on–oops.  Don’t worry, mom, Norah was slathered head to toe; I’m talking about her parents).  I researched many sunscreen brands.  I cross-checked EWG’s report and Safe Mama’s cheatsheet.  I narrowed it down to a product I could buy locally.  I had no expectations of it performing this well!  It doesn’t even claim to be water-resistant.  Cue the music. 

Thank you Jason’s Natural for your amazing Sunbrella Mineral Sunscreen which is PABA-free and UVA/UVB-blocking.  A little went a long way.  And my test toddler put it to one heck of a test.  You have won a loyal customer.

    Good to know. Elly and I both have very fair skin and have been using something I know little about but was in the all-natural baby section at Ingles. Sadly, we haven’t spent much time in the sun because of our skin. If we head out for fun in the sun, I will grab some Jasons. Where did you buy it locally?

    yes please tell me where you got this from

  4. Bwaaa-haaa-haaa, for once, the rural dweller finds something closer than the G’ville/S’burg-ites. I found it in Pickens. Ha.

    But Whole Foods probably carries it.

    I really love my Jason deoderant. I bet the sunscreen is great! I will have to give it a try.
    Thanks for the tip.
