Technocrats look to be taking a lesson from Mother Nature. Survival of the fittest is dying with a whimper. Tonight's tragic accident that took over an hour to clean up is looking to enter my personal record book as a Live on FOX proof that survival of the luckiest is the real and everlasting fact. As was said over the airwaves, everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing, yet inexplicably, between the two safety vehicles a car slammed into the jet dryer that was "routinely" cleaning the track during caution. The delay would not be causing much harm, other than the carnage of a lot of steel and aluminum but for the fact that several large boxes of Tide were spread to remove unburned jet and diesel fuel. In addition to the hundreds of gallons of ethanol (White Lightening) burned by the race cars, conventional fuels are still burned in large quantities for "support" and audience travel.
When the true cost of putting on such an event are calculated, even divided by incredible numbers of viewers, the 20 million dollar paving project for this one track seem to never quite add up. The millions of viewers who are waiting up to see Jeopardy will have to go to through their day, tired tomorrow.
When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it connected to everything else. Nature always bats last and as we enter the realm of honoring Creator rather than our human inventions, we find that inexplicably we are drawn to a place of compassion and respect for the lowliest of forces, in our human conceptualization perhaps that best comes down to chance. Amongst the billions of creatures here on the planet, you have been able to "see" my humble conceptualization of a tiny sliver of reality. rather than becoming preoccupied with this particular shard of reality, see for yourself how things cleave and along what lines you have the power to heal the rift between humankind and nature.
I am always amazed at the growth of interest in my blogs from far away lands. Not that I devalue interest here in my part of the world, but the need for looking more deeply into the collective myths we share worldwide, I think, helps create new myths, new realities and new directions for all of us.
I am reaching out this spring once again to ask each of us to redouble our efforts to make substantial and lasting progress toward sustainability. for my part, I am pledging another year of planting trees.Our local not-for-profit has planted many tens of thousands of trees, some of which now tower over houses,harbor wildlife and help to protect water quality. In America, we still refuse to acknowledge the value of reforestation. What our group has done is to pledge that no money given to ECO-Tours will ever go to pay people for serving on our board, planting, organizing plant-ins or advertising. We put every dollar into either protecting land, creating areas for planting or trees themselves. what we give is of ourselves and in our way we have transformed countless acres. We will continue to do so, with the help of those who fund our efforts.
Donations can best be sent from far off through our Paypal account. That account can be found at tnsaladino42@hotmail.com for those who prefer to send checks via snail mail, we are still operating out of our 1445 Porlier street Green Bay, WI 54301 USA address. It is a good time to think about donating because the discount we receive can allow us to buy more trees for less money as long as we order before the end of March. I like asking for money at this time of year because around the holidays, everyone else is asking and I get tired of trying to be heard above the din of requests for donations around that time.
Blessings to you and may the warm winds of spring bring you myriad opportunities for growth and development. may your days be filled with abundance and may your nights be mediated by pleasant dreams.
For my racing fans, keep the greasy side down and the shiny side up!
