Futures Past

 I realize how hypocritical it is of me to send this to you with an iPhone.


This is just the current version of the abusive exploitation that is been going on for thousands of years. I would like to think that the universal adherence to an Amish lifestyle could save us but the population is just too large and we are (I am) too lazy for that.

Sometimes I would like to try to convince myself and Priscilla to live off of wood and springwater and what we can grow and forage around here - but that’s just a pipe dream.

Family sizes are growing smaller, at least in the US buy a little bit. this is encouraging but the global population needs to follow the same trend.

Meanwhile I have to take a break and observe the beauty. I have to keep the balance. There is goodness in this world, and as I say these words into the phone the dogs come out of their resting area and play together. 

One is an energetic and neurotic youngster, and the other is a limping elder. they are both good companions for different reasons.
