We are not well, not in any sense of the word.
Our bodies have been nourished on fattening pablum. Our minds have been distracted by dazzling shows of light and chorus devoid of all meaning.
We have failed to notice that it is all slumping, sinking, slowing.
Failing.
I am not a cynic. I believe in the human spirit. Each individual possesses such potential and beauty that I once imagined our destiny could only be great, but flung together into states and nations we become a stubborn and foolish mass threatening ourselves and all life around us.
I would prefer it to be untrue but imagining unrealities will bring us no closer to a solution. In this blog I will not withhold the truth. It is my hope that an unflinching gaze at reality will make the path to a better future a bit more clear.
And if it does not? I will at least have tried.
