We have never believed that the Earth tells stories, but we have no choice now; we must step into the plot of the 6th Great Extinction. We need to like the outlandish story-line and join up. And that is what we mean when we say “Wild Dreams of a New Beginning.”. It’s a phrase that was given to us by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who passed away last March at the age of about a century. He was the sustainer of the Beat generation at his City Lights Books in San Francisco. As this Extinction overwhelms our lives, may we have that vision of the Earth that so many of his authors saw and celebrated. Earthalujah!
