Book cover for The Book of Joan
people will make belief out of anything, especially if it comes with a good story, and despite my cynicism and age, I want to believe in her. Like the way old people on Earth used to turn to a story we made called god.

“Something will have gone out of us as a people if we ever let the remaining wilderness be destroyed ... We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in.”
Wallace Stegner, The Sound of Mountain Water

“Exponential growth builds slowly at first, then faster and faster. Unless something redirects it, it hits a limit and crashes. A few cells of green scum doubling in number each day for many months on a pond can be almost unnoticeable until one day the scum covers a quarter of the pond, the next day half the pond, and the next day chokes the whole pond and kills its life. By the time the effects of exponential growth become clearly visible, it may be too late to do anything about it. If business as usual continues, this is the future for us humans, and it will be painful, violent, and immoral by any standards, since we will have known and allowed it to happen anyway.”
Nancy Abrams, A God That Could be Real: Spirituality, Science, and the Future of Our Planet
