"In all our technology, we have lost touch with the earth, our heaters and air conditioners robbing us of the drama of seasons, our cars keeping out feet from pacing the land, our concrete and our shoes and our carpet delivering us from the feeling of unprocessed earth. We live on top of the created world, I think to myslef, not in it. And this van, (background: they are travelling in a VW van across the US) this great wheelchair with a radio and bed, we sit in it and roll at unthinkable speeds across a dessert that would have cost our forefathers a season." -Don miller

so i read this quote today on this guy andy's (who i know from qwanoes) blog today and i just really thought about it and how true it is, and how much we take for granted the monumentalness of the earth and how much we miss out on the beautiful experiance of our planet in its more organic state.... now-a-days when we want nature we go to a designated place in the middle of the city called a park... its sorta sad feeling to think that we have less and less natural earth to experiance every second we live here, we grow more and more detached from the old things we know everyday... we look at the lives of our parents and grandparents and are shocked and dismaied at the changes that have occured in the last 40,50,60, years its increadible how much more distant from the earth will our children be when they are our ages? will there be any of it left even for our grandchildren? we never acutally think about what we have untill we realize we've lost it... it saddens me to think that, though i know how true it is... re-aquainte yourself with nature realize the complexity and beauty in something so simple as taking a walk in a feild... or squishing your feet in the mud... (secretly my favorite feeling in the whole world...) dont take the earths beauty for granted we could never reproduce something so beautiful in our man made world...

to be alone with you, to commune in your beauty and light,
to be alone with you, this catastrophic dance of perfection and disaster,
to be alone with you, one complete and one completed,

turning leaves on trees that should have long been bare,
the warmest winter since the day I left,
turning leaves on these trees, to them I might compare,
for I am temporary and my colours turn,
I am change and you are steadfast,
I am fleeting and you are eternal,
turning leaves on these trees, to them I might compare,
dry and broken I will return to the earth,
you are what I lack, I seek your recognition to feed my petty spirit,

weary with the days weary with the world and the worlds ways,
weary with the lack of worth that I am overcome with,
I would offer you my talents if I had such things but compared to you I pale, like branches drenched in frost I am the colour of cold, I am cold

I would offer you my talents and you would receive such a useless gift,
such beauty in your eyes I cannot understand what you see in me,
I cannot understand your mercy I cannot fathom the grace,

People say I'm silly for the lucubrations I've made on you,
this intense study of your incomprehensible character,
the world cannot see these things that I feel, they cannot accept my relationship with something divine but, you fill up my emptiness,

and still I am so wanting, and you are so content
and still I am so feeble and you are the strength,
and still to be alone with you, in your beauty and light,
and still to be alone with you, this catastrophic dance of perfection and disaster,

and still to be alone with you, one complete and one completed

to be alone with you in these moments that only I understand, \
let the world call me a fool if they may, and they will,
still I only have to be alone with you
