- The end of another day with a beautful sunset at 11 thrity at night. Ya know even the days that do not seem to have much in them are full of the unexpected, unique never to happen again in either the time or space. The surroundings are always different. Even the routine of peddling the bicycle is always different as to the feel of the environment, views, cool, hot, up, down sun, rain and just what energy each of us has in the present. That is what makes the Bicycle or hiking journey different than a car, motor home trip with the constant set, speed, temperature, lighting in day, and at night, The constant blur and out of touch with the ever changing reality of nature. I wonder is perhaps there a reason to fix the natural environment into the constant of a computer program of predictable results – The weather changes, species have come and gone and come again humans change and so does the environment. Our own arrogance and ego demand that we are the cause and reason of all this. If only we can get every one and everything to perform the way we want it to then the world will be safe, secure, predicable, sustainable, balanced, livable. Of course the humans who are in charge then change their minds, whims, or something and the program they want. So it is Global Cooling of 40years ago coming, then Global Warming is coming for 20 years, now just Climate Change each with the same mantra, act the way we say or we are all doomed, “Be afraid!!” How about we clean up each mess we find, as it comes along and Fear NOT. Oops where did that come from.
