“So much so that many scientists believe that for the first time, instead of the planet shaping humans, humans are knowingly shaping the planet.”
That is a sad statement. As I get older, I find myself becoming frustrated at people in my life with careless, selfish, wasteful lifestyles. Instead of being a stronger advocate for the cause and speaking out, I tend to just withdraw from them. My behavior in turn is just as bad as the ones leading themselves into a state of idiocracy. I need to overcome and be more proactive in holding people accountable instead of shrinking away in disgust… that’s not helping anyone.
It would be a beautiful thing to see Biden decline an invitation to speak at the NPB.
I’m glad to see the stave church rescued and reused. The building is a work of art. I wish more contractors used more of that type of building these days… much more interesting to look at.
I enjoyed the article on kindness and believe the world is lacking in truly kind people. Don’t get me wrong, people love to SEEM kind, by posting quotes on social media about being kind and spreading it, but fail to route that energy into actual kindness. Like many other things, I believe more genuine intent and action could change the world.
Your photography choices are great. The eclipse in Patagonia and the starlings in Rome are my favorites… however, the The Fall of the Naked Cowboy did give me a little laugh.
Thanks for the reads on this cold morning. ✌
