Why our politicos have allotted free reign of impunity to our most apt greed-born military acts is just so beyond my acuity, such weakness in the name of power; …to the winner goes the spoils.  The spoils....  The spoil.  What a waste.  Every so-called great nation has taken more than it’s fair share from the poor…just because it (they) could.  All the best of humanity seems fated to ruin in the hands of all the worst notions of man

ah, yes, you're getting it. aren't we Godly little critters just wonderful?

In a dream I met Mother Earth in a surviving pine forest…under a waning moon sky, & in her eyes I could see:  She knew (she knows) it could be another way.

sad, beautiful, and true.

btw, Spirited Away is absolutely fantastic. his recent Howl's Moving Castle didn't compare, but definitely give Spirited Away a chance with your full attention (although it should pull you in pretty quickly and completely). it's a very special piece of work.
