concrete jungle

i recently read nymag’s article, “the concrete jungle” and it reminded me of a story that mrs. anderson told us about her experience one day meditating on mount shasta.  she said that she felt overwhelmed with sadness and felt the stress of the earth.  she apologized to mother nature for everything that man has done to destroy her.  suddenly, mother nature spoke back, telling mrs. anderson that everything’s going to be alright.  earth has been around for millennia and has survived catastrophe after catastrophe.  but humans — they’re the ones that should be worried.

i’m not sure that’s a feel-good story, but yay for mom nats and boo to humans.
