Happy 40th Earth Day Everyone!

Lordy, lordy look whose 40! (Well, okay 4.5 billion.) The thing about paying 1/365th of your attention to something is that you get predictable results. In 1970 Earth Day was a big day. Lots of gatherings, protests and positive vibes. These days it is more of a institutionalized mild nod overshadowed by economic and consumeristic diversions. Whatever we do about it, Earth is and will continue to be the Living planet. The only role we have to play is to decide if we want to continue to be part of it. Earth, the cosmic miracle... Ours to recover...
