The matter is, as I see it..and I have been here nigh 70 years; the planet is truly sick. Sick from us. Sick from the lack of Love, from the lack of respect, from the greed and pillage of its bounty, the poisoning of its waters, both salt and fresh, the total disregard of all things sentient and of its consciousness. The disconnect from its harmony and breathing flows, in the pursuit of the human self obsession and unbounded ego. It comes as no surprise to me, that the underlying sadness, depression and anger in any persons with just a modicum of emotion, is feeling the very sadness, depression and anger of the great mother that gave..and continues to try to give us all life. There is no escape from the loop...everything is connected to everything...Love out , Love in...fear out, fear in, hate out, hate in. Water comes to the boil very slowly, without much change, but in the last few seconds, there is an apocalyptic shift in its state.

This is the current condition of our once beautiful planet. Until we move out from the self centred sense of importance we seem obsessed with, and look at ourselves from the vast expanses of the universe, little will change.

Whoever designed the ridiculous economic model we are enchained in, designed it for themselves...without a care for a life beyond their own. It is the fundamental root of our end.

Thanks to you, Elissa, I brought Katherine May’s “Wintering” with me on the quiet retreat that Jan and I are taking this week. I have just finished it, and have handed it to Jan with encouragement to put it at the top of *her* retreat-reading stack. And when she is done, I want to read it again. It is so very powerful and lovely.
