I will NEVER forget having to stand in the shallows of a DEAD coral reef in Asia because I had no other choice, when an American starting SCREAMING AT ME for doing so. My hubby yelled back at her 'Yeah, says an American.. what about fucking IRAQ!'. Whilst of course it may not have been best approach in saying American military is responsible for so much fucked upness, it reinforces the idea about perspective and lack of imagination. My standing on dead.coral in two inches of coral wasnt causing harm at all.

I am reminded of apigraha in yogic thought. If we could reduce greed and make everything we do thoughtful and mindful, we wouldnt even be having an argument about climate change.

A wonderful post... resteeming.
