We live, simultaneously, in two different worlds. Ultimately, we live in the World of Nature, a world that we did not create and the world upon which all life depends. Most immediately, we inhabit a "human world" that we create ourselves. Because our human world is the result of our own choices and actions, we can say, quite properly, that we live, most immediately, in a “political world.” In this blog, I hope to explore the interaction of these two worlds that we call home.

#161 / War (Syria)
It takes so much work to build a town.
How can it be that we allow ourselves, so easily, to destroy the cities that it took such an effort to construct?
This is a picture of homegrown destruction. There is not even the excuse that this is someone else's home.
Of course, that is a poor excuse, anyway. We are in this life together.
When will we learn this? Learn it in our hearts?
Oh shame! Oh agony to look around and see what we have done.
To see what we are doing.
