Well, I'm still moved by nature, dammit! Black branches against the golden red of the setting sun's afterglow. Like revolutionary fires just out of sight.

You are a man after Wordsworth's own heart. He'd wish that there were more like you. Thank you for that intense response.

It takes energy to think of all of humanity as our tribe, as a team working together of which we are merely one part.

It's hard to have faith that the billions of people we shall never meet share our goal of doing just a little less harm to others and and to nature and to ourselves.

But if we all have that faith, then that faith will be affirmed in our own, and in the natural world's, survival.
