Light

I have been re-reading Crow Planet by Lyanda Lynn Haupt.  It is a wonderful book even better on the second reading.
But here we are, intricate human animals capable of feeling despair over the state of the earth and, simultaneously, joy in its unfolding wildness, no matter how hampered.  What are we to do with such a confounding vision?  The choices appear to be few.  We can deny it, ignore it, go insane with its weight, structure it into a stony ethos with which we beat ourselves and our friends to death--------or we can live well in its light.                                 Lyanda Lynn Haupt
Live well in its light.........sounds like a plan: facing reality without giving up hope.

Also very inspiring....Jane's Journey, a wonderful documentary about Jane Goodhall
