i read about the picture of earth from space was the beginning of humans growing consciousness of the oneness of the planet, but it doesn't seem to be that way, it's more and more degraded and fragmented, more violent and toxic. we may feel the love when we see the picture, but it's like postcard love from a place we wish we could go to. looking at the earth as a whole we don't see ourselves on it, or anyone. we see it as it is without us, though we see the tar fields now, the burnt forests, the plastic archipelagos, the giant fans of runoff, the deserts of artificial light.
when i look at a moth held captive by a spider thread, then i feel the earth more, and the tensile connection that holds me.
