COLLAPSE

Cover image for COLLAPSE

Are you thinking I’m on about doing-without, on about doom? Scolding and wanting to deflate the quality of techno-civilized life? Think you should feel bad and I want to make you try harder? Likely you’ve added the worry of a “Great Collapse” to your list of issues. Definitely hard to deal with, for us to deal with, in our locked-in, mega-fossil-fuel consuming, busy day-to-day. We are all in this together, and together we need to solve it? Sure, but nope, done, too late I’m told, or so I see… the biosphere and along with it civilization, is going to continue collapsing. We are headed past a 2 degrees Celsius planetary rise.

“Collapse now to avoid the rush”... that is if you can be so privileged to step away. Yes, lessen your footprint of fossil carbon... of unfettered, unexamined mass consumption... with its mind-boggling volume of plastic trash, devilish petrochemicals, biocides, and unimaginably evil pollutants.
- Collapse now... and get comfortable with just standing as a satisfied being here on Earth.
- Understand the simplicity of your needs, control your wants.
- Look up at the sky, feel fortunate, feel your place.
Many have related the joys of being emotionally involved with the natural that surrounds.... with witnessing nature... with growing food... with eating naturally (and not childishly, piggily, industrially). For me, following such secures the inherent vitality.

None of this is burdensome, or hard. It’s just a kiss away. “Collapse on demand, collapse your demand.” And the changes, "disasters" to civilization... may bounce you around... but not so badly.
