Think like a Tree.

Think of a protest in slow motion… super slow motion, where twenty minutes equals twenty years. The people are not marching; instead they are houses, dwellings. The signs they hold are lives.

The environment is the environment of the mind. We can not see it yet, not like we can see water and sky, but if we could see it, we would be horrified. This environment is filthy and toxic and stinking, and it is killing us.

In the early 1950s, the idea of “environment” applying to the “outdoors” was inconceivable. That was before Silent Spring *, perhaps the opening of the “Green Revolution.** ”

You could see the smog and pollution and trash blowing along the road in the 50s… but nobody paid any attention to it. It was the elephant in the living room, the crazy aunt in the attic. That dialogue started 50 years ago. It continues today.

A new conversation opens up now. We are beginning to become aware of the collective environment of the mind. The poisons of war and greed are loose in the world. We can only reach to the sunlight and convert energy into nutrition.

We must stand where we are and converse like trees.

the "green revolution" was most instrumental in the last century moving 97% of the population off the farm and into the city. now the percentages are almost the exact reverse.
