This is perfect, Michael. Thank you for a concise analysis of our noisy, wolf-dominated moment. I'm reminded of my writing on the ubiquity of parasites in the animal world, and how human parasites are uniquely unaware of their dependence on a healthy ecology.
Just a half hour ago I watched a very crowded, rush hour roadway stop and wait patiently for two large families of geese with teenaged goslings to cross multiple lanes. They did not cross quickly: several of the goslings were keen on the pavement. No one honked their horn (or blew it :). It was several shared minutes of what felt like humanity, which is to say, kindness. Thank you for yours, Michael.
One of my favourite books on group dynamics, politics, and human behaviour is "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. The book so well tells the story of how well 'good intentions' and ideas take on a life of their own.
Back to Nature though, I remember hearing somewhere saying that "Nature never lies and Nature never forgets." That has always stuck with me.
Thanks for this very appropo quote for our time, all time. You/we are not alone and tyranny never prevails over time. Have a blessed day!
