My son is still linked to the civilization that we have created (that plastic bottle!). But he is learning to live in the World of Nature. Thinking ahead.
Though our civilizations come and go, Earth abides.

We live, simultaneously, in two different worlds. Ultimately, we live in the World of Nature, a world that we did not create and the world upon which all life depends. Most immediately, we inhabit a "human world" that we create ourselves. Because our human world is the result of our own choices and actions, we can say, quite properly, that we live, most immediately, in a “political world.” In this blog, I hope to explore the interaction of these two worlds that we call home.

Great pic of me, dad ;-) That's me being ironic. Luckily until the end of time we will have enough plastic bottles for all...
