The crickets talk with me on nights otherwise devoid of a human voice... ... we talk a lot The crickets and I.

I read things and react, because I am human & humans, regardless of how evolved enlightened educated they may be, are emotional beings. I react to injustice and pain and suffering of Earth Animal & fellow Human. I react to joy love and beauty, and to achievement and triumph. And sometimes I read things which sends my heart into hiding... replaced by a hollow ache... Mostly I do not respond to the negatives which make up daily life. The conversations at the work lunch table... a comment on a friends post... I've learned to recognize certain mindsets. But they still fill me with a deep fear, that we have come so far in human evolution that we balance on a dangerous tipping point. Which way will we plummet? Backsliding into a dystopian existence or slipstream ahead into a freer cleaner more empathetic global community?

PS... Wondering... is there no option to share images with blogs and poetry? As a digital artist and photographer I like to present an image to accompany my work...
