The Psychological Pandemic

As we enter the dissolution of the haughty contentedness of industrial civilization we enter a new world where we are confronted with reflections of our own failings as a species. Our hubris has brought us circumstances that were laying in await for us for some time and turned our assured world on its head. […]

The Blasphemy of Civilization

Winds whisper upon ones cheek, a kiss from the Universe. A birds chortle in ones ear, the voice of the Universe. The smell of soil and water an embrace of the Universe.
