By "goofing off" I refer to any number of cultural worldviews literaly paved over by this pandemic hubris of humanity that we can keep re arranging the planet like an old glass 5 gallon water bottle terrerium with infinite outside resources. My grandmother once observed a indian sitting under a brush shelter. From her Missourian, fundamentalist Christian western work ethic he was 'Goofing off.' A close indian friend of mine gave me a wink. The indian in the brush shelter was performing a very important ceremony to help restore balance in the community after a violent shooting in the local, white owned bar. That act of goofing off was no less valuable than Pope Benedicts XV1s first mass. As to our being the most successful species? I woke up to ants carting off a PJ sandwich I assembled half asleep last night <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> They look a whole lot like the ants in a piece of jurrassic amber sitting on my bookshelf. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
