Summers winding down and the school year is commencing, what is their left to learn for us the 'adults'?
Have we learned the enormity of the peril to future generations of our 'success' as a civilization?
Do we understand that the plastic that is choking us..... ?
(Let's start this again)
How was your summer vacation?
What did you observe?
Did you notice the ongoing environmental damage across America the beautiful?
Did you notice how much warmth and heart there is as you meet people everywhere you roam?
Are you old enough to remember 50 years ago when the news was beginning to spread that this planet would double it's population in our lifetime, by about 2020?
Were you one of the few (somewhere around 400,000) in 1969 who spread a picnic blanket on a green hill in upstate New York in high expectation and watched as more and more lovely people
sought just a little more space, continually squeezing in and on to your blanket, joined you, until you had your 2x 2 space with your knees up? It was worth it. We made it. A disaster area it was... and I remember.
Are people a commodity? Do more and more people buy us economic wealth?
Are 'more and more' a requirement of Compassion?
Are homes a commodity? Is a home just a transient economic unit to buy and sell on the path towards wealth and success?
Is every acre surveyed on the Earth to be owned and 'developed'?
