Control, Chaos, Ecology

The older I get, the less I understand what we like to call "civilization,"which gets more and more un-civil, cruel, and crude. I've read that all civilizations we have records of crashed because they had destroyed the environment on which they relied for food, fuel, and shelter. Probably humans, our species, homo sapiens as we call ourselves, are a planetary disease. And so, the older I get, the more I live in my own little world that is as much like the aboriginal world as I can make it. I live each day as a new day, and the last day. I marvel and cherish all aspects of Nature. I try to ignore the house of cards we call the World with its truly idiotic politics, its hatreds, prejudices, religions.
