Greeting a New Day, Canada Geese, Dugway Ramp Recreation Area, Sinclair WY, May 1, 2011
Cold
Geeze it's cold - 10 degrees or so at dawn - but with a bright sunny sky emerging. And, a nice surprise, three American White Pelicans sleeping on the riverbank.

Met a local today who said it the weather is shaping up to become a repeat of last year - a cold spring followed by a sudden warmup and flooding when the heavy mountain snowpack melts.

It's Time to Go Home
The truth about nature is that she is inside us, all around us, just waiting for us to ask her what to do. The truth about civilization is that it was an honest mistake, an invention that was necessary at the time, a mere 30,000 years ago, when nature appeared to be letting us down and we thought we could do better. But now it has outlived its usefulness, and is out of control, and threatens the survival of all life on our planet, so it's time to let it go. It's time to move forward and imagine and invent a new culture, a sustainable one that works for all creatures on Earth, drawing on the best learnings from nature and the best innovations from civilization.
It's time to go home.
