DANTE’S PARADOX

“He who sees a need
and waits to be asked for help
is as unkind as if he had refused it."
-Dante Alighieri, poet (1265-1321)

This quote from AWAD (A Word a Day) greeted me this morning with what felt like accusation since I am attempting to refuse contributing my energy to the system causing the greatest suffering to the needy's grossest greeds by finding a kinder way to coexist with my entire environment and its kindred spirits who’s needs are satisfied symbiotically. This blog is my unasked for help by describing my experiences and ponderings during my endeavors to balance becoming more feral with beneficial technology.

Punch, Welcome. Am enjoying perusing your blog.

Hope is nice and all, but if that is all we do about the contribution our heedless consumption is to what we hope to transcend we're just wiggling in quicksand.
