Killer

Our bees, basis to our agrarian culture, without whom no flower gets pollinated, die ... How can we possibly just let this happen?  Already there are areas in the world where human hands need to pollinate blossoming fruit trees using feathers, flower by flower, because all insects have disappeared. This is not a joke.

And where voices are raised to use more vegetarian alternatives for food, in order to reduce the environmental pollution and methane emission produced by the cattle industry, that plan can then also be parked.  Should we go for the 100% synthetic menu instead?

That the bee would be on the list of fauna threatened with extinction is something no one has ever conceived until now. Just one small animal, no?  Now they die in masses, thanks to our wonderful chemical industry who has found a market in the poisoning of long-time delicious nectar-producing plants.  The bee is the ‘indicator’ to the state of health of Nature. A different approach is very, very urgently needed – we cannot just let this pass and remain unmoved.

Imagine: this is of the same level as killing all the men and women in the world…
Dead planet.

Happy New Year!

What do we actually celebrate on this day?  Why is January 1 so special on the calendar?  I would much rather wish everyone a happy new day every day.  And I do, from time to time, but I’d rather make it a habit.
The new cycle of the calendar, so important to the Chinese Emperors in time past. They were responsible for the ‘harmony’, the alignment of the human rhythms to the celestial cycles of sun, moon and planets – typical for agrarian countries.  How far have we since deviated from harmony?
Happy New Year, Happy New Day, Happy New Hour, Happy New Minute, Happy New Second.... Happy Life!
