Darkness fetters us around. We are surrounded. What should have happened has happened. The near end does not amaze us at all. The days of Mother-Earth are numbered. Her noble Warriors fall either together or divided, and though she knows what should happen and how, when and where, she cannot share that knowledge with us. Thus, being in ignorance, we are moving towards Fatum, blindly. That is all, one might think....
But having all this in the background, each of us still has the right to have the last wish. What will it be like? Do we know what we want and what we need?
"No."
Do we feel what wee need?
"Yes." (however we mostly do not trust in that feeling).
What to do?
One option is: to stretch in bed after a restless sleep, to come to work, to stir the system up to hell, to arrange individual parts in the system, to be in two calls simultaneously, to enjoy a cup of coffee, to state authoritatively your understanding of the Future (let the people amuse), to eat, to intercommunicate through music, to make music through beer, to make a discovery, to decide for frenzy, to have more beer, to enjoy the future, to catch the stranger's look, to look at somebody with a stranger look, to sing an unfamiliar song and dance to a familiar one, to tell a story, to come down with money completely, to give yourself to Earth, to subdue the anger, to bow to the beloved one, to put yourself at the mercy of Eternity and to hope for a new day.
Mind out! one whole day postponement....

On Disasters and Catastrophes (Helpless tears are falling....)
I've heard about another disaster happened yesterday. Here, for example, one of the multiple articles found on the web.
He was thought to be about 100 years old, which is not a venerable age as far as tortoises are concerned.
"Sunday morning the park ranger in charge of looking after the tortoises found Lonesome George; his body was motionless," the head of the Galapagos National Park, Edwin Naula, told Reuters. "His life cycle came to an end."
Lonesome George weighed 88 kilograms and touted a 102 cm long shell. He was the last member of a species of giant tortoise from La Pinta – one of the smallest islands in the north of the Galapagos archipelago. Now the Pinta Island tortoise subspecies is officially extinct.
The Galapagos National park plans to carry out an autopsy to determine what may have killed the tortoise.
Up until 1971, the last reported sighting of a giant tortoise on Pinta Island had been in 1906. In 1971 a scientist studying snails on Pinta Island saw a solitary tortoise in the distance. However, it was not until 1972 that National Park wardens found Lonesome George on the island. From that point on he became a symbol of Ecuador's Galapagos Islands, which attracted some 180,000 visitors last year.
The tortoise was called "Lonesome George", a name that derived from being the only surviving specimen of his species, and "George," after the US actor George Goebel, who called himself "Lonesome George" in a TV program.
Many years later, Lonesome George was placed in a corral with female tortoises from Wolf Volcano on Isabela Island. The idea was that by placing these animals together, Lonesome George would pass along at least some of his genes into future generations. Despite laying eggs twice, they were all infertile.
Since then, zoos around the world have been offered a reward of $10,000 dollars for a Pinta Island tortoise female, but the reward has not been claimed.
The Galapagos National Park is now considering embalming George's body so that it can be displayed in the park.
Also, I learned today that rived dolphins existed some time ago....
The "rarest animal alive today", according to the Guinness
Book of World Records, has been found dead. The conservation icon named
Lonesome George passed away on Sunday of unknown causes, according to
the Galapagos National Park.

On Disasters and Catastrophes (no more tears left)
Yesterday such a phrase from some of the TV-series reached my ears: "You are guilty of committing a crime against humanity...."
However I haven't yet heard another phrase: "Humanity is guilty of committing a crime against Life (Planet, Nature, Being, Mother-Earth - whichever one likes the most)". Why is everything so unfair?! Although it is said "those who endure to the end shall be saved", and also "this world still exists because of them" (I already wrote on this on the Journal pages). So it turns out that Mother-Earth will suffer all the pain and humiliation, until the last human deserving it stops walking upon it, won't She? Is that right?
Watching Animal Planet, Viasat Nature, where sweet voices tell stories about people who look after this or that species, or how they save this or that animal from violent treatment. "Fortunately, everything turned out all right...." - such words sum up those "positive" plots. But in fact the topic is about how the remnants of worthy people on Mother-Earth are trying to postpone the end of some animal species as far as possible, as their home territory reduces more and more, their lives getting shorter, and their looks getting more tragic. Our Mother-Earth is being deforested, waters polluted, and animals extinct....
And still.... this humanity dares to complain about anything?!

On Disasters and Catastrophes (crying out tears)
Oh how many good and interesting people there are all around me, how much of goodness and kindness there is in this world. They say, this world is better than we feel it is....
This night I was browsing YouTube, watching Pixar-related videos, and somehow, just accidentally, I reached a page with different videos about hunting and hunters.... and then once again I praised all those disasters, diseases, catastrophes, wars, and most of all - Natural Rages that annihilate and turn into nothing all that biological rubbish called Human Being. The Earth tries to clear Herself from that multibillion filth, She groans and gasps for breath. Most likely She will prevail sooner or later: a Human Being does not deserve walking upon Her.
They also sometimes say regarding good people that "this world still exists because of them", which means that "if this world still exists then somebody deserves it still".
Cry those tears, then dry those tired eyes:
every breath you take keeps you alive.
Butterflies as we are
freeze in flight beneath the starry sky
but the ghosts fly on and on...
in this sense we all belong,
oh, Gaia!
And the sum of all the parts
is the all-forgiving heart
of Gaia.
Oh, Gaia!
(Peter Hammill, "Gaia", 1992)
Mother-Earth, you have all rights to not forgive us for what we do to You!
