JANU: Some see life as encumbering, a burden, an annoyance, an obstacle to happiness and freedom. Many create a niche in life, a safe haven, for their pleasure and limited freedom. Some embrace life as a challenge, an opportunity to gather riches and build power structures for control. Some an affinity for nature and its serenity and perseverance, as well as beauty. Some seek spirituality with ritual and passivity. Some seek security through repetition, sameness, predictability. And others, the demand of family. And some a life of research for escapism. Others a life of pleasure seeking.
A mixture of experiences describe humanity and its Dance of Life. But for many the Earth is a consumable that will always be there, an unlimited supply of resources, not a living being with sensitivity to influences. This is our field of exploration into humanity’s relationship with the Earth and all that it is. Namaste.
