Today is one of rain but rain is good. And well as the quote goes “ some people walk in the rain, others just get wet” An interview with James lovelock the Author of the Gaia hypothesis says it is too late for us to 'save the earth' I tend to agree with him well the earth will survive but we will not we have stripped her bare gone beyond the point of no return, all we can do now and enjoy the time we have. But what of the future the people yet to come we have left a sad legacy for them. I walk in some woods and most of the sign I see is that of human waste empty bottles bits of car etc. It would take such a time to clear it myself I would feel like Sisyphus. We have all but destroyed our home. We share this home with such a wonderful variety of animals, plants and fungi. I often wonder what they make of this strange being that seeks to destroy its self. We may be 'intelligent' but we have no common sense we see a tree or field and we seek to destroy it, and then when it is too late far too late we try to put it right. How can we the mature Oak took some three hundred years to grow and establish itself and we have made toxic the place where a field once was with our human detritus. But as I have said in the past we like the dinosaurs will pass into history what will become the dominant species who knows ................................ Well apart from that though today has been good sorted the pack out at last. Still always seems a lot for a night out. But I am comfy when out and that is most important. And have some ideas on various aspects of sleeping out. I now have the details for my June course and I am very excited about this. More skills and outdoors enjoyment to be had, From sleeping in shelters we have made ourselves to the making of fish traps and fire making by hand drill. And of course the hope to make a few friends as well as this is a more advanced course the possibility of making like minded friends will be better. Other than that life is good even though I opened with a dour thought . Deep blessings to all and much love......... Blessed be, peter xxxxx
