Thoughts From Within

While I appreciate the nostalgia and the art, I am quickly pulled back to the reality of increasing interest rates to stop the rise of $CAD$, another 10,000 lives lost in Sudan while we dither over sovereignty issues, AIDS taking 2 million lives in Africa and Asia, deceitful politicians, self-interested neighbours. It is refreshing to look backwards as a respite to the present, but not particularly helpful to solutions. Read the poem, enjoy the images and then get back to the tasks at hand.

I'm not advocating abdicating reality at all. I just happen to think this piece is a salient reminder of the things which are intrinsically important to us as a species. They are the very things which, upon noticing them (and being able to name them) as 'missing' from modern society, will hopefully inspire people to become re-engaged. I was just happy that someone took the time and creative licence to produce something like this... it served to make me feel a little less 'alien'.
