the love song of a forgotten earth

food for thought:

"what does it mean to grow rich? is it to have red-blooded adventures and to make a ‘fortune,’ which is what brought the whalers and other entrepreneurs north? or is it, rather, to have a good family life and to be imbued with a far-reaching and intimate knowledge of one’s homeland, which is what the tununirmiut told the whalers at pond’s bay wealth was? is it to retain a capacity for awe and astonishment in our lives, to continue to hunger after what is genuine and worthy? is it to live at moral peace with the universe?"

always peace and love,
