Maybe we've become the little Dutch boy who tried to stay awake and plug every leaking hole in the dykes. And we all know what happened to the Dutch empire.
The world has always been in chaos: the illusion of control is seductive and compelling. However, there is a difference from what we study in biology and geology and the "apparent" laws of nature which we sometimes believe govern (see Copernicus). There is something bigger and we have to honor that.
What we learn in our dialogue witht he earth and its people, is the will of that which truly pushes the daises up from the earth, and moves the ocean, the tectonic plates and twinkles the stars. We must govern ourselves, look up and treat others with honestry, justice (as best we know it), and compassion.
And so as I become more adult, I begin this process internally, which makes me a better citizen of the planet. And so I become more useful in my relationships. I'm moved to send thoughts to Egypt and the people there, and to all of us who as this ripples through our world, we are all affected.
Live well with others.
