False Knees by Joshua Barkman for February 25, 2019

Well that IS what the deniers are saying to the natural world.

So true——-if we humans all disappeared, the natural world would get along just fine. Much better probably.

And the natural world would have been happier if we were never here.

There was this one guy, brilliant philosopher, famed general, beloved son, husband, and father. Rich beyond imagining. Lived in 1432. Whatever happened to him?

It does seem like we’re the only ones not in harmony with nature.

Sometimes it’s saying, “Go away. Don’t bother me.”

True enough from a conservation biology perspective. Individuals don’t matter-populations of individuals are the drivers.

So quiet.

Joshua is pretty much dead on. One thing to note were/are a number of Native Americans felt that everything in nature (rocks, eagles, grass, etc.) had something to tell us and is was our duty to learn to listen – something that a vast number refuse to try now days

Beautiful
