Natural wisdom

If our human civilization project is to be successful, it will be due to a combined internet of a system, drawing on the unique capabilities of each human being, just as nature so deftly and efficiently uses all of the plants, animals, and insects and minerals at its disposal.  Nothing wasted.  And there is a beauty and a music to nature, everything moving through cycles and interdependent, from the shiva forest fires to the ethereal morphing cloud river sea to the Christian gazelle turning its neck to resurrection.

Paul said it today.  As a true artist, wild haired and eyes glazed, gently, he said it: “Once you start to see the world and think for yourself, you can’t go back.”  How many times have a heard these words, always relayed with a tinge of regret but an overall acceptance and even pride.  For it is only a member of a rare and authentic group that would think to pull these words out of the air to their tongues.
