Yesterday Mount Redoubt popped off a couple clouds of ash up in Alaska, and the North Korean government said it was going to shoot a satellite into orbit. Here we are able to witness some of the key ideas that make Geocosmysticism the only true way to God. I wrote that in my Bill Maher voice. Of course, there are many paths by which we may approach the Grand Poobah of Everything, grasshopper. But I digress ...
The volcano is one way the Earth self-regulates. Gaia is a living system. Not merely on the surface or in the atmosphere. The top soil and crude oil we humans exhaust so efficiently are the parts that get our attention most of the time. We need food for the cows we eat, and gas for the engines we ride. But Gaia has a much richer and wilder inner life than we often notice. She's a hot, juicy mama and her subterranian motions go largely unnoticed except by seismologists. Except when a volcano erupts, or there's an earthquake or a tsunami. A little reminder that Mother Earth is fierce in her love for herself, because she knows ALL terrestrial life depends upon her health. If something's making her sick, or knocking her off-balance; if she needs to let off steam, she lets off steam. Mama gets to spew when and where she needs to. And if Chevron's tanks of crude are being stored maybe a little too close to that blast space, Mount Redoubt doesn't care. For the most part, my soul rejoices to see pictures of Gaia's volcanic inner vitality erupting. I thank ... er ... the Grand Poobah that I live in such a powerful place.
Hillary is a good Secretary of State, I think. I also was glad she expressed concern about North Korea's intention to put up a satellite. Except for the hypocricy of it. We're just moving the battleground higher into the biosphere. Space - the final frontier - is a lot farther out there. Someone can check me on this, but I think there are already over 6,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth, and several thousand pieces of satellites or other "space junk". The orbital range of things we launch up there is a pretty narrow band of ionospheric. The geocosmystic opposition to NK's announcement is "we don't really need anymore of our toys strewn about up there!"

I was with ya until you started talking about Hilary. A total shift in topic. Ouch......where did that come from?
ReplyDeleteYeah ... that was a pretty lame move. Hillary was the face of the story, and that stuck in my head. Thanks for all comments - I welcome criticism, constructive or otherwise!
