“What now is has already been; what is to be, already is; and God resotres what would otherwise be displaced.” – Ecclesiastes
The doom and gloom is easy to see for any generation. Seeing God in all things is a challenge for every generation, and you are on the right track.

Now� well now we are only too aware of what we cannot manage to be fully aware of�the way our very way of life is bought at the expense of each other and of the planet.

… thus it has ever been. I had a philosophy prof who used to say that our decidion to live was our decision that something else must die.

A sense of ecological sin is not much of a gift if it leaves us stranded, powerless, and frustrated at what we cannot change.

… but we are not powerless to change things – all that’s missing is the acceptance of the fact we can’t have our cake and eat it too.

A lot of food for thought here and said simply, but powerfully. I love this line especially: Jesus, it seems, blames us only for looking to heaven when our hearts should be planted here with all our sisters and brothers in this blooming, buzzing, chaotic web we call life.

Thanks, I need a bit of hope after reading that the US congress has voted to gut the Endangered Species Act. I do feel powerless to stop the annihilation of so many of earth’s creatures. Things look very bad, but I guess there has always been terrible injustice in the world. And as Julian of Norwich said (or heard), all will be well.
