My point: the news of the earth's condition is depressing. We feel compelled, but too small to make a difference. Changing the light bulbs isn't enough. But, finding a vision within ourselves that represents the perfect world we wish we could create is an important step to creating it. I am a believer in visualization as a powerful tool. Visualization alone isn't enough. But, combined with action, it does create momentum - no matter how small.

Or I could read the link you sent me... But I am supposed to be working. Right, working. And yeah, Mike and I are feeling a little nuts at the thought of moving back to the Cape right now. But then, my road is flooded again this morning (or so Mike said - thanks to the various and sundry gods that I am working from home today!).

Well apparently, that report was an UNDERESTIMATION. http://scienceblogs.com/islandofdoubt/2008/02/tipping_points_what_we_dont_kn.php On the bright side at least you live inland now and high enough up that the lapping flood waters probably won't effect you :-) In line with your little bit of depressive realism you have going on here-remember that big international consurtium of scientists who in the past few months related the report about how global warming is definately happening now and we need to act now?
