Real beauty makes a person in its presence
feel “This moment here is enough,” or
even “This life is enough because
sometimes there’s beauty.”
A few thousand
wealthy weaklings hoard
tens of trillions of dollars in resources
to calm their nervous palpitations about having enough –
while saying there’s no money to build a sustainable energy grid,
or give a billion and a half people something besides a filthy puddle to
drink from, or end the slaughter of whales, or educate or
care for the health of children without leaving
their parents in rags.
“What is our threshold
to recognize the death spiral?
What is our threshold to realize that
we don’t live in a functioning democracy?”
put your feet up for an hour and listen to Derrick Jensen and Chris Hedges
