Glittering World

Look at this glittering world
Gold medals, diamond watches, and sex for sale
The foolish are immersed in it
The wise one does not engage

Mick,
Thanks for the reality check. It's machines that have done us in...

Here is a thought from one of my literary heroes, Sigurd Olson.

"The mist was all gone from the river now and the rapids sparkled and sang. They were still young as the land was young. We were there to enjoy it, and the great machines seemed far away."

-- Sigurd F. Olson (Naturalist author of The Singing Wilderness)
