That picture of a lonely blue marble in the great black void seemed designed to shock us into seeing . . . [a]n oasis we should protect at all costs. Well, so much for that idea. It didn’t take, not really – we’ve done more to damage the planet in the decades since that picture appeared than in all the time beforehand. . . . ~Bill McKibben, “Planet Protectors,” Orion magazine, Jul/Aug 2007 issue http://tinyurl.com/2dcyxa
The image is still working on us. It’s too powerful a truth not to explode all human-centered, culture-centered, religion-centered operating images – but it will take a while because the universe seems to mosey along. ~jpc
How can we help the blue marble out? Namaste.
