A fog rolls in from a distance. Rather than being composed of water droplets, this fog is entirely constructed of the various lessons you have absorbed since you were a child in the womb nursing and having your sensory organs nursed into birth. It's not clear when exactly the first lesson is absorbed. This moment is when the child is pulled from a pure state of enlightened being and begins it's descent into the realm of human desire.

I wanted to address my personal misgivings against a total collapse of civilization, and in doing so, I will use the context of being an environmental and earth advocate for 10 years, My experience reading mainstream media, and my dealings with Ishmael and the various clans of B.

First of all, I'm familiar with the various opinions and analysis's of the great philosophers and scryers of our day. Second of all, change is the only inevitability. All opinions and projections are based of one unavoidable fact; oil and to some extent, fiber and flesh(building and clothing materials, as well as food), is in finite supply. Whereas fiber is in less danger of being depleted, we are still as a species using more fiber form the world than we are putting back.

Oil, however, can be used to the last drop with little consequence to the overall survival of the planet. Carbon in the air would be rapidly sequestered and brought back into balance in short order.

Hey.

 I was pondering something.

People often find themselves in an intolerable situation. For instance:

• A prisoner in jail
• A Leaver in civilisation 
• A German under Nazi rule
• A homosexual in a religion that does not tolerate homosexuals
• A woman in an abusive home

 Perhaps intollerable is too exclusive a term. It's subjective. Anyhoo.

Despite my penchant for beating people over the head with the benefits of fungi, I'm going to go out on a limb here and just write about some of the things I have been feeling lately.

Have you ever gotten to a point in your Taker existence where you think 'if only if I...'? well, certainly, my 'if only if I...' has always been if I only had land to work with.
