This is another fascinating article and (high) number surprises me, yet it feels like a liberating truth. Also I'm sad to realize over the years that societal response to re-alligning process is one of dwelling even deeper in dellusion.

I've been living with the land way too long to consider something like "sustainability". Anyhow I've found great deal of inspiration in the idea of regenerating the land and natural life. I guess, I'm slowly realizing the underlying notion of regenerating the Life, this of balanced harmony and respect for all sentient life.

Interestingly I was just contemplating about responses from "natural life", as mama deer and her fawn came to greet us when I was hosting a group of people few days ago (eventhough I'm seeing them often, they wouldn't otherwise come close to bigger group of people). Having a close encounter with squirrel durring my morning practice today, it seemed as the forest animals have been speaking to me.

Afterwards, I was driving through the industrial part going towards the city and there has been strong sense of emptiness, especially seeing new construction sites and people working around them. Connecting with this article, it spoke to me about re-reading the chapter from the Divinicus, about Islands of hope.

My take away message from the topic enhances the notion of planting some apple trees, which I was planning for next week. It's an activity that is in my autumn schedule since more than a decade, yet I do recognize that I had basically softened the antrophocentric notion about it. To me it's simply and act of grace, having the capacity to implement the shared interest of nature and man. It feels as the yearning of my soul to utilize more homo-centric activites of working towards my version of "heaven on Earth".

Yes, society definitely thrives upon collective suffering and it's the only way it knows to react. In some way I might have became dellusioned in the idea that regenerative way of life might bring some balance and restoration to the "natural life" on the planet, when it was designed merely to offer a shelter. It seems that "natural life" responds well in noticing the Noah's ark.

I am wondering how can we (through our own "Islands of hope") create the conditions and offer a space to wildlife that is lost within people?
