"The Earth and myself are of one mind." Chief Joseph Nez Perce I feel like I just spent the past four months immersed in a dream - in an alternate-reality bubble called the "University." It is a place where human beings and their personal, economic, racial, gendered, cultural and religious identities are the chief concern. But now, with the semester over, I am coming back to my truest passion: seeking to unite myself with the EARTH'S perspective. And in this space, I can't help but ask the question: what does the EARTH think of all of these human concerns I've been mulling over for the past four months? Are they different than the Earth's perspective? Or did they actually come from the Earth? Are they a significant part of Earth's 4.6 billion year old perspective? Or are they merely a blip in time? These are the questions on which I'll be working . . .
