We Are Being Forgotten

In Western Australia wild weather and shifting seasons have arrived at the same time as a 'mining boom', with vast, deep holes, some kilometers long, being gouged into the land. Land partly responsible for the weather - providing water for rain; providing heat and cold for temperatures; providing shape to wind and gale - so this wild, season-shifting weather is not surprising. In other words, when there is an unnatural shaping of the land going on - horizonless plains and underground rivers refined into iron ore and shipped overseas - there is created an unnatural shape from which unnatural weather gets produced. Similarly, regarding our own 'world-class wrongdoing': instead of participating in the 'weltgeist', or the natural behavior of the land; instead of being out-and-about amongst it all, we are more and more using computers and phones and machines to participate in the world, sat half-dead at a desk, in the car, in front the TV, resonating but a pulse. And so what we might be giving back into that 'weltgesit' is decreasing: - we are becoming another vast hole gouged into the land by our own non-participation. And just as is happening here in WA - bad weather caused by emptied land - our absence from the weltgeist is leaving room for bad, non-human weather, dubbed El Nino, or Hurricane Katrina or Sandy, or the storms that battered England. And if we extend this notion - of our absence from natural activity creating our own natural opposition - through passive participation in a weltgeist that is mechanized, industrialized, technologized, and globalized..., well, it's no wonder we're creating a global, world-class opening for our own wet and wild wrongdoing, our own dusty demise. Because we're slowly being forgotten.
