Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse,

Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,
Tiny trees for tiny dames.

"In the high society of the first half of the century, marriage, despite it's bestowal status upon the wife, was the most absurdity. Marriage, conferring instanteous rank or money, ... lost most of its prestige and moment right after the wedding. ...By the end of the century, spurred by Rousseau's moralistic Nouvelle Hèloíse, a contrary cult, that of virtue, arose. After 1770 conjugal and maternal love became not merely admissible, but, for some, moral imperatives. ...

[...]
...Rousseau, who sought for himself the crown of morality in ostensibly defending marriage, presents in his Nouvelle Hèloíse the most enticing and extended defense of illicit love ever penned. The root of the problem is that as the century progressed sensibility became confused with morality: passionate feeling, if expressed in a highly civilized mode with grace and nuance, makes us forgive the Rousseau of The Confessions, for example, his pettiness, his jealousies, his betrayals. This moral-amoral byplay, present already in the novels of Richardson, was to be more intense as the century unfolded."

"...As the social contract seems tame in comparison with war, so fucking and sucking come to seem merely nice, and therefore unexciting. ... To be 'nice', as to be civilized, means being alienated from this savage experience - which is entirely staged. [...] The rituals of domination and enslavement being more and more practiced, the art that is more and more devoted to rendering their themes, are perhaps only a logical extension of an affluent society's tendency to turn every part of people's lives into a taste, a choice; to invite them to regard their very lives as a (life) style." - Susan Sontag , on 'Fascinating Fascism' (-74; p 103;104-5 at Under the sign of Saturn)

Meet the gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream
Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere,

“The expansion of mankind, both in numbers and per-capita exploitation of Earth's resources has been astounding. To give a few examples: During the past three centuries human population increased tenfold to 6 billion, accompanied, e.g., by a growth in cattle population to 1.4 billion (about one cow per averagesize family). Urbanization has even increased tenfold in the past century. In a few generations mankind is exhausting the fossil fuels that were generated over several hundred million years. The release of SO2, globally about 160 teragrams [160 million metric tons] per year to the atmosphere by coal and oil burning, is at least two times larger than the sum of all natural emissions, occurring mainly as marine dimethyl-sulfide from the oceans; from Vitousek, we learn that thirty to fifty percent of the land surface has been transformed by human action; more nitrogen is now fixed synthetically and applied as fertilizers in agriculture than fixed naturally in all terrestrial ecosystems; the escape into the atmosphere of NO [nitric oxide] from fossil fuel and biomass combustion likewise is larger than the natural inputs, giving rise to photochemical ozone (“smog”) formation in extensive regions of the world ; more than half of all accessible fresh water is used by mankind; human activity has increased the species extinction rate by one thousand to ten-thousand-fold in the tropical rain forests and several climatically important 'greenhouse' gases have substantially increased in the atmosphere: CO2 by more than thirty percent and CH4 [methane] by even more than 100 percent. Furthermore, mankind releases many toxic substances in the environment and even some, the chlorofluorocarbon gases, which are not toxic at all, but which nevertheless have led to the Antarctic 'ozone hole' and which would have destroyed much of the ozone layer if no international regulatory measures to end their production had been taken. Coastal wetlands are also affected by humans, having resulted in the loss of fifty percent of the world's mangroves. Finally, mechanized human predation ('fisheries')¨removes more than twenty-five percent of the primary production of the oceans in the upwelling regions and thirty-five percent in the temperate continental shelf regions. ...
...The impacts of current human activities will continue over long periods. ...over the next 50,000 years.“ ('Anthropocene' ; p. 70-1 on that compile book Global warming reader. A Century of Writings About Climate Change. (ed. McKibben) [Sources, to that cited article, seem from rely to materials from btw 1990-98, mostly. (The article is actually from y. 2000.)] ; ...While century's advancin', one might assume not so much havin' changed to this scenario. Seems it, that most often concern on these climatic aspects, would've been what the impact on humanity's foothold, and more precisely cons. those 'declining resources'.)
----------

...Somewhat considerably, only tried from reason out whether we'd any chances to make/from prepared this to the bit similar writings than many previous, recent posts on this blog. ; ...Some sort of the 'cocktail', compiling as diverse aspects as fx the Climates, and, then some from this long lasting shadow of the Disaster capitalism (, from incl. it's late remained 'hold' on the world's economic system, still.) – And maybe bit less from it's victims, the workers mass graves, the shattered economies, the extinct species (from prospected to be seen, during the oncoming century's time), and the lost 'real progresses' acc. that 'illogic' also seen on the climate-politics. (Plus a few other aspects contained, incl. maybe those 'resource-markets' of the Greenhouse gases reduction, climatic 'solutions'.)

But, let us only say from that all (aforesaid)...even Stalin couldn't had prepared the more ruthless futures on his subservients, than seems done the marketplace, and the US government, via/w. it's climate-politics by the century's turn. ('Subservients' from concerning, thought about, actually does mean the global humanity's futures.)
; Thenagain, yet maybe, there now also is more of the hope from the futures concerning. Though', I haven't well late, some time, checked those recent most prospected/clearest estimates on present from that Climates-question. Suppose, I likely bother more for the other things. (Why so, becomes maybe quite reasoned if you read the rest from this post.)

...Supposin, that all from so far seen often enough has gotten us 'out played' on these writings, already. At least, that for the reasons this originally seemed from turn out of too confusing, our few sources from bit burdensome to compile together. ; ...My few views, or sources 'outlined' fx featured to some sources Klein, Roy, Vine Deloria jr, Charles Foster (about the 'olfactory blindness' by humans), Patti Smith's 'rock'n'roller nigger' (some songlines from), plus, else much smtgh lot,...ao, etc.
; ...In short, put it this way, sayin more would probably only mess our own goals too much. Yet, the effort made us of too concerned on facts to remain in null, of not sayin anything.

...One way to look that, or of that Climates at least, is that there not just the matter about declining 'resources', but merely of the world w. an enormous spending from it's 'resources'. (Just amongst the many typical ecological burdens, or examples within, seems be fx those low coastal wetlands; Some that during some half the century had '...loss of fifty percent of the world's mangroves.' ...I understand nowadays some measures to their recovery might/are being carried. Don't know what in particulars. ; And, actually, the similar seems just as usual to concnern most processes that comprise humanity's problematic footprint on Earth, it's environments.)
; ...Yet, to be only honest, came then to these conclusions that it only much easier us from not go now for any those aspects. – After all, we've also here been thinkin' ourselves out-of-this-box of several years, by now. Only from more recent on the world's concerns, for any particulars. ...Supposedly, any reasoned person, to these conditions would've made the same conclusions already well before; By reasoning, simply, that leaving out practically anything, seems for to serve only the false will permitting the excuses from to leave out most everything, from this before said. (Like that wouldn't had mattered.) – Or, in brief; Now we are actually sayin' practically nothing, 'cause likeliest sayin' something only seems turned against our own effort here. (Let us then also - of course - notice for the same sentence that I won't either acknowledge from fear such unfair an opponent. I'm only afraid of the facts.)
 
 [Above-pic] ; ...Should've / must've learned by now that it's the years left out which usually matter. (The mindful advice, check about.)

...To some among his often referred/cited words at the 'Civil Disobedience' (1849), Thoreau says: 'I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion' ...Supposedly that quite as good advice to us on any from (these) concerns, than any other. Not all would have the similar chances than we though, either. So doin' our own turns here, not liking to play wise. Won't haste. And I wouldn't had changed a bit. Will read as much as before. (Maybe from bit more cautioned. But, after all, any from these words also cost us twice as much than for the most. Didn't let that much of to bother.) Will run after our own fashion, no haste. Besides, otherways you all would lose all from (this), too. Will not follow. Won't “agree to”. Won't repel, won't rebel, and won't repent. Most of all, won't risk it. (Hence this much of my decisions from presented on to this...)

Finally, also saying for some matter-a-fact, any from this doesn't exactly much seem to much comfort me. (Shouldn't comfort any you either. Hope...there is. But the world is late, and 'the hour grows late', seems that, by anycase.)

...So I suggest everybody who might arrive to bit similar conclusions the solution I've now held to some time: Start walking, instead from the drivin'. Helps reason out better, and pays for some exercise – and – costs nothing. Usually, the obvious question only is of how far you can walk. Or; when wishing to walk, on any conditions, which any particular conditions from. Suggested only for the physically well-fit. Not suitable on all seasons, landscapes, specific instances, or weathers. Mother Earth would approve. (Also reduces the likehoods from any too hurry and hasty decisioning, too.)

; And these many words, on preceded, only from main reasons remark the followed posts mostly to contain/flourish of examples from the plant and gardening by ours. (Actually could've easily saved myself any trouble of to bother on these, too. Easily here available on shops, while the selections would been more limited, obviously.) Good that I bothered, the opposite would've had left us without any actual decisions, too.

The Plants-'section'
; The Gardening Chapter IV / 2018 
 

Trumphant or Triumphant' ; From the cultivations/gardening we're now approaching mid-Summer & from the plants, basically, here their more troublesome period of earliest growth is over. Practically means that to most my efforts consist now (“only”) from the watering, mostly. ; However, such as my usual 'cardinal sin' on plants and cultivations, I avariciously gathered quite a number new species - And so there's much to take care, most of the time. ; However, the unusual – But now, apparently, already to the normative – the dry period of Spring, turned to more problematic than earlier: I even ran out of my gathered rainwaters soon early by this June. Which has never happened before. Although regular pipeline-liquids are there to be used, I think now from to have some better idea of what these said 'forecasts' and predictions actually seems from mean. Can imagine how such can do/does mean real concerns on places, actually to many places of the world by our time. Turns most tasks more strenght consuming, fx. ...And our gardening (even this little) gives also some idea how agricultures can be very fragile, on certain regions and periods from.

Yet, no time, nor place to any too lenghty descriptions of this (recent) 'heat'-period here. That from about 3-4 weeks dry period – no longer, but since of Spring such was earlier only a very 'abnormal' for any seasons – So wasn't only exhaustive, stressing, but frustrating from noticing that the most my concerns on this were of direct to the climatic aspects. (However, from my plants cultivated, part thanks for the greenhouse cons the pregrowths, the weathers actually benefited my efforts; Anything grew more steadily and sooner than on 'regular' seasonal condition. ...'Supposin, that those climates irregularities are predicted turn for the more worrysome, here too, after only few decades. At least one already could notice the increases from the temperature 'extremes' from this.)

...Something I also took (/was able) to pay some attention, during this early growing of my plants did count the used bought soils. Turned it out (about) that I did use, about: 4 sacks regular (pre-fertilized) soil (40 L). And, ca, few sacks 'pregrowth' dirts (4/6 l), a few sacks particular herbs-soils which them also sell here as the separate preparation (4 L). - Mostly used that on my Rosemary's, and Basil-containers. ; ...And then also some regular flowers-/indoor plant-soils, from sacks by size from 10/6 L. ...And then, later, a few smaller sacks in addition to that (4/6, 'compost-fertilized' nowadays).
; ...Basically, I think, ecologically thinkin' the bought soils made my only 'unnecessities' to this. (...Although, reminded that without a few leaf-composts the needed amount sacks would've been even more). ; ...And because from that I was preparing a few benches more for these flowers/vines of mine, and then also these Summer-cultivations (Some went for the Tomatos, like usual, also sowed some Squash. ...Plus yet, there a few other larger plants I wished change to newer soils by this time. And then there were few other tasks I had elseways from make.) But feels it then, or simply so, that of had the more 'ecosavy' practices/-alternatives from maintained, would've needed more of time spent on that – Which was not possible, to this season.
However, one might then think/useful reminded that these amounts used aren't very calculable to anything else, due because I mostly used my own resources on this. – And, any my gardenings not part from any communal effort. Which, btw, seems from become quite popular nowadays, here too.

And then...well, now we should be movin' on.

(Biobact, the 'fertilizer sticks') – Presented mostly due because bought these from to experiment w. their use on some my Tomatoes too. Don't know/can't say...whether these turn out any useful, success from. (A few sticks added on Tomato-container last some couple Months and then one only needs take care watering.) ; Also, so far, I've only discovered that to my Celeries the organic Biobact, on liquid-form, seems serve for the purpose better than any chemial fertilizing-product. Actually, of resultant decided leave out any chemials from the liquid-fertilized house-hold plants too, of prospectively.

Willow Bay-Herb

Some point-of-view, the remark that at first fewsome our Fennoscandian natural plants on begins this is featured...

...The nicely flowering Bay-herb – as the English name I'd learned it called by. Blooms about this season. It being rather early arrived colonizing plant here. Usually grows on, fx, open woodsides (/-clearings), roadsides, edges to hay-fields or sim, etc. Seeds disperse widely, so occasionally you see the plant on byside to the constructions. Appears quite tolerant for the various soils, and soforth, the human efforts actually have often favored it's spreading. (However, like many natural plant, in the pasts, it seems also had some medicinal uses – Even that the modern 'folklore' only seems from make of Willow-herb any mention only to the 'drunkyard's rose'. And one can perhaps find some justification to this terming, since it's flowers are quite large and many insects visit.)

The Lesser Butterfly-Orchid (Planathera bifolium)

...Also of the natural Plants, and from characteristics from complete opposite to the previous, we then have the pic from of this nicely scented Orchid. All/or most Fennoscandian orchids tend from grow with the particular mycorrhizal-'partnerships' w. species of fungi - So most species appear often only more sparse to see, even without any human impact/harms from affecting. Like many (Fennoscandian) orchids, due the forestry economics/practices, it is counted for the declined (Actually, is protected due because of this.) – The most significant major reason that the modern economic forestry methods disturb heavily the forest floors, ao impacts caused. ; Generally, there's Orchids that grow on the peatlands/bogs (and other type from soil too), that contain some amongst for the more endangered species (But the Lesser Butterfly-Orchid, seems from favor mostly – I only suppose – the more wet chalk-land type environments.) ; Typically for many orchids the species seems from attract many moths w. it's scent to the pollinators.



The Common Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) 

; ...So, as the scents captivated my attention to previous mention – actually only by accidentally – I also ran to an Ash flowering at the Spring-season (Perhaps little early this year, on midst from May). The tree ain't very common, it here merely grows at some parks and to other human created places, 'parks and gardens', or to other more or less converted environments. On warmer coastal regions it becomes more common, though. (So one could asssume that w. some time, maybe not very long after, the Ash, similarly as the Oak (Q.robur), might start from become more common to grow and increase also here – Which is slight disturbing, the fewsome small sapplings tend appear for my local garden, fx, after it's seeds have developed. Actually, there's also some having rooted closeby, from the larger tree next to my places. ; ...But due it's scent Common Ash I recognized quite exceptional a tree, when luckily happened recognize those at the bloom. Apparently, it belongs for the larger family from Beeches, like the Oaks (That I only assume.) – And then it not very surprising that there seems from be a lot of similarity at the scent of these trees too. Common Ash from blooming is quite nice lookin' tree, indeed. ; ...The usual ('standard') claim also seems to recognizing Ash to the tree-species known as the Viking's 'Yggdrasil', the 'World Ash', reaching it's growth for the 'all layers' of the world – But actually, I read that actually the species of the tree meant by that actually was Yew. (Sounds quite reasonable, but decide by yourself from the likehood...)

Wood Sorrel(s) (Oxalis acetocella)

; ...Which not actually is any too rare a plant, but Wood Sorrel grows for the most typically in the older Spruce-forest floors. ...While one might often find Sorrel by singular specimens, or lots from, this kind of nicely decorative views tend appear less usual from my any nearby sights. ; The beside view – which the photo for quite poorly 'transmits' - I just happened from discover on sides from the – about 1950s - planted spruce-forest that they're here now, apparently, trying to 'revitalize' on for a more natural level. Apparently, w. the purpose from improving that to again from favoring the more natural conditions for the actual natively appearing forest ground plants. Since, typically, by around the times from that 1950s created forestries, only too often contained trees planted for the thin, straight rows (to the 'geometrical' lines from been planted.) Such cases the Spruces on those said forestries then effectively seem from not only poor to grow, but also often then block most amounts the necessary sunlight, or, in combined also turn the soils/ground-floor too acific for many those ground plants. ; ...But I merely photographed this from to some memories of my early walks in the childhood and for the reminder to learn that one can also taste Wood sorels leaves. (Slight bitter by taste. The plant being completely harmless, though not meant of eaten in large quantities. 'Supposin it has ranges for most Northern Europes.)

Maple-branches (Acer Platanoides)

; Not the less lovely by looks is the season when maples go for bloom. Here late May usually, this year – I noticed – w. an unusual warm heated Spring-period, it was now then maybe couple weeks earlier to that timing. ; Thoreau, actually, advices from watching the Maple- branches and often having followed an advice. (Hence this picture. But just from mentioned, due becasue I suppose from had earlier presented quite a many examples of Maple-flowers to some our posts.)



Field Scabious (Knautia arvensis)

Probable that I've presented earlier few pic(s) from this old traditional, natural plant. However, that 'perennial herb' appeared at my little dry meadow, all of a sudden – And maybe now by this season, afterwards, I can expect a few more of the growths, if the conditioons favoring. (Or not, don't know as yet. But I mention this merely of reason that I've seen it for some good omen, after having discovered that, few years past.) ; Namely it just one from the old-time plants that now for the more in disappearance, relic of the more 'traditionelt' agriculturalist recent past and 'customs'. The natural plant definitely one amongst my favorites. (The local Nature database remarks fx that this plant also did arrive for the Fennoscandia early on when 'slash'n'burn style agriculture' was formerly maintained. And '...it was people who originally brought it to Finland from Russian Steppe.' ; Attracts 'bumblebees, honeybees, beetles...and many other insects' ; Ie, pretty much similarly than what usual of noted from several other plants at present to their 'slow but steady' declines. (However, if you have a free field/area, take some time to build a meadow, or take a whole lot from the tennis-yards and change those for some – such as the method acc. to 'Lady Rothschild'.) ; Decided to leave any pics from this for a bit later too, placed some on an earlier posts...And maybe there'll grow some more from these now.

(...And finally, then we have a place to these few gardenings of mine, from because of this late unexceptionally warm Summery-seasons.)

The Bee

...An 'early bee' - Appeared some morning at my gardens, about late May, suppose. I think for not presented the pic, or noted the smaller species to any earlier post – hence the photo here. ; (Actually, now supposin' that despite the warm season bees seem from rare of any appearances. Likeliest them are sufferin' some declines from the latest Summers lot of rains, by July/August. Not so great concern or a worry,
by now, but...makes you think.)


Greenery plants

; ...This of Clovers [Trifolium incarnatum] in the pic, by any particulars, early on it's flowerescence. ; Acquired also a bag of the seeds from those to uses – ao – from returning the fertilization for the soil on a bench from my greenhouse. - Although, I then later also 'weeded' some parts from these off and added also Basils on the same bench (Those tend grow most well here only at greenhouse.) ; Also used some already, prior the blooming from the plants, not waited until the whole lots from it grown for to returning the 'strenghts' on soils. ; ...And, must admit, it too seems from flowering nicely. For the Bees, I read (acc. that Beresford-Kroger, btw) it's the most favored plants due from their contained nectar. (Only the Lime can compete, it says...) Well, who knows, but the seedbag also had the Buckwheat and phacelias [P. tanacetifolia]. After the plants grown, the stems, leaves and everything else are at Autumn then from cropped and mixed for ground soil (at late from Autumn.) ...Guess that's one from the usual organic methods that'd gotten to more popular by these days – I actually ordered mine along w. the other seeds I did sow this year.

Winter Savory (Satureja montana)

...Of the herbs, also sowed some over-wintering Savories this year. ...The selection mostly because I noticed it gotten to flowering by this early, late June. ; Acc. Wikip.; '...makes an attractive border plant for any culinary herb garden.' - And that's exactly the way I was plannin' to use it. (But reason one or other, my sowed planted at that place not from so near well took off, as yet.) ; Anyway the herb also has longer histories from before/'...evidence it was cultivated by the ancient Romans and greeks 2000 y ago.' (The Romans, who not had the black pepper, also seem said from had used that w. quite the same manner, actually.) ; Merely made these sowings, since I'd noted it perhaps saves the trouble to have that for perennial than to sow Summer Savories, each year. ; Also them seem to note that the S.montana appears to be of the more mild by taste. ...However, growing some to my stronger soils (on greenhouse) it turned from actually to very strong by it's taste. Some sowed 'outdoors' seemed from taste bit less 'bitter'. (The latter 'method' is actually recommended, but at here latitudes, seems their overwintering ain't too exact guaranteed, either. – And hence by that the reason planted some on a greenhouse.) It's flowers on pics  actually look nicer than those on 'regular' (annual) Saturejas, the whole plant appearing bit more of a 'shrub-like', by an early look. (Flowers seems resemble, lot, those by the Oregano. Or those from other species that belong for lamiaceae. Perhaps adding some pics of this too, when those grown larger...)

Echinacea paradoxa

; ...The original purpose was from make some step-by-step, detailed practical, 'task-list' growing on some these N.American traditional perennials I acquired. (Of some breeds from.) So, I also grew plenty few Monardas, (M.punctata), such as was mentioned on earlier posting. ; ...But this heated season brought me so much extra trouble and well-to-care on my cultivations (the food plants, the perennials, the Household-plants - and some trees, even) that I had not any good time for smght like. ; So, I'm now only planting them prior the soil gets too dry during the more warm Months. Generally most perennials need more time of growth than any seasonal flowers, and as I tend favor the 'bit more difficult' species to grow, I've also suffered some set-backs on those, by occasional. ; ...Like said (earlier) I've not much of a guarantee how these particular perennials should last here on the winter-conditions. ...But at least my comparable, more regular Echinaceaes and Monardas seem well do. Supposin' I'll have to cover these w. bit more w. fx the twigs, leafs, etc, for the overwintering. (In particular planted the Exchinacea beside stones to an additional warmth from soil condition.) ; Well, we'll see...

Garden-'bench'


...Namely, intention was to plant these on some garden-bench I made by the method earlier described (a layer of hays, some newsprint-paper, hays, bit of a sand, 'rubble, newsprint-paper, hays, ...etc.) Built partly of earlier planted/relocated flowers, this self-made garden-bench the experiment at least turned for the most complete success: The Arnicas and Acquilegias - at beside photo - already bloomed on early June (the pics), and, the regular Cone Flowers plus my last season adverted (local) attractions, the Greater Knapweeds soon will. ; ...Anyway, I won't 'advert this invention for the 'lazy-minded', (or, for physically weak) – Building that last Summer actually exhausted me more plentysome than anything on this recent season/heated period. (The secrets for, also, for that perennials do so well on it, appears that the whole from it built over a stomp of a lately cut garden-tree, it warms the soil well.) ; But also from because the whole lot made by this natural method (maximum one to two sacks any bought soils). Actually I wouldn't even needed add any extra fertilizers to it, this Summer...Although I used some bone meal on most from mentioned perennial. Hence their large growths (Plus of this heat, of course).

; Actually, on this built flower-bench (beside) even tried for 'imitate' the idea from the S.American 'Milpa' – And one can see the Squash's leafs at the below on pic. (...Hopefully those will produce some harvest, it's still early of Summer but I'm not too sure if the ground's is enough to these many, and to this large plants.) ; Matter a fact, it been enjoyable enough building this even if those plants wouldn't make much any harvestables to. ...Namely, I'm also pretty satisfied for the idea that I've even sown an' cultivated each and every one from these flowers on the 'bench' of the seed, by my own. (Though, some among, I at first relocated of elsewhere growths.) ; A recommendable effort, in case having some resembling place for flowers. Besides it was good physical exercise too... :)




Basil

Of the gardenings, I then even collected my garden pots of the Basil in the same pic. (Took some pic from my other herb on pots too, but did not find that for these places...) - So these from the Basil should suffice - 'cause I think I mentioned, tried grow those in the one turf-bag brought from the shops – but it turned out burdensome. ; On the greenhouse them grow most effectively here (as elsewhere, possibly), all Basil basically needs is the warmth. ...And the well lot of the fertilizers, at these latitudes (Such as elsewhere when on subtemperate regions, not possibly when grown to more tropical regions, never checked about.) ; In the pots, I've noted it best here to be grown on metal-containers. Much the same as from tomatoes – Guess'll I've mentioned them from often grown together, in the same soils.

; ...Nothing else, suppose, by my these cold (temperate) regions perhaps makes one so apparently aware and 'bewarned' about these climatic aspects than collecting the rain-waters. So I actually now mostly having maintained from collecting some to be used for my gardening tasks. Luckily, here regions it also appears well usable and usually the garden starts from flourish only after rains. ; ...And feels it also notable, ao, that due because of having relative many plants grown which favor/are from the more warm climatic conditions by origin, actually the minor heats we'd recent had, helped me on my gardening tasks greatly. (So far. Yet, given the level about drying caused, only of this recent from, one feels there's merely some reasons to look this for some forewarning. So nowadays lookin' of quite more often on the skies...)
--------------

...But that now for the most from my gardenings and plants, during this season,
or of that for main part from this post. Supposing, there'll be some time or a places for bit rest from my tasks on after these Summery-cultivations – The other plants/species then perhaps around from when having perhaps bit less warmed period or weeks during the July.
Of course, you don't necessary have to feel the same importance about these - I'm writing of these, actually, since the lot from is the more usual for any my

doings or inspirations during this season, mostly, recent years. ; But for now, from a bit like that 'Bird on the Wire', guess'll then fly off on to other tasks, while these still remains from not any too lenghty a story. ; ...Maybe that about knowing of the plants and the many species amongst, is a bit like that from the ladders – You only use those when you happen need some. But the more one learns from them,  more for particulars, the more generally one tends seem learn of their overall characteristics. Or about. (; G.U.J.)

The froglet's story, Or; 'dragons wrath'


; Or: Runnin back the breathin' ground...

“He walked through the grass without following any well-worn footpath.” (from) 'Iktomi and the Coyote', a lakota story 'rendered'/translated by Gertrude Bonnin/Zitkala-Sa.
;
“...I was fascinated with the notion that long ago humans and animals used to freely converse. As I got older, I realized the clouds and winds and rivers also have their ways of communication; I became interested in what these entities had to say. My imagination became engaged in discovering what can be known without words.
Stories themselves have spirit and being, and they have a way of communicating on different levels. The story itself communicates with us regardless of what language it is told in. Of course stories are always funnier and more vivid when they are in their original language by a good storyteller. But what I love about stories is they can survive and continue in some form or another resembling themselves regardless of how good or bad the storyteller is, no matter what language they are told or written in. This is because the human brain favors stories or the narrative form as a primary means of organizing and relating human experience. Stories contain large amounts of valuable information even when the storyteller forgets or invents new details.” ; The Turquoise Ledge (by Leslie Marmon Silko)

Happens that I seem of tend to keep Silko's books on my desk of some time from until having the time/pursuit of reading those. The Turquoise Ledge (2011), I read sometime early Months from last Summer, but that actually 'rested' from unexplored on my desk for some Months time before that, at least. Don't know why, perhaps I had some hesitations of the book, and that then was left lay aside.

But the books of course quite rewarding reading. (In contrast for what on the preceded said, ie to some difference on that former practice, Almanac of the Dead (1991) I then now more recent read, quite directly after from had borrowed book.)
; ...Thought from somewhat what could've appeared well in place from quote to begins of this chapter – But felt it nothing else from very well would've fitted for. ; So, it goes like this.

...In the book there, amongst lot else it contains, is told from that uranium-mine, established on the Laguna pueblo land, soon from after begins from the Cold War, due because; 'U.S. atomic bomb production needed more uranium.' (...Won't go for those health compromising and endangering histories from any more detaily, anyone can of course read about that oneself. But view also the few parts quoted on below the following paragraph.)

; Such as from what becomes easy imaginable also (,or at least) transmits the impression about how totalizing might've been the global 'zeal' for the atomic energies during those times, at the 'dawn' from our present modernity, that 'postwar-era' (In the book is also remarked of how during those years '...prospectors descended on the Southwest with their Geiger counters over one shoulder like a purse.' ; Actually some aspects I also read mentioned at the book by Edward Abbey, Desert solitaire. (p 1968). At the earlier post(s). ; But no less incomprehensible to any present 'awareness' is of course also how totalizing the lack of care about all the possible side-effects, indeed, and how total the neglect of the peoples healths by that mining industry. (Not to mention on this in precise from that first bomb explosion and its radioactive fallout. But view those few quotes on little below.)
In fact it (the nuclears, bombs and -plants) always been/was the history from 'energies' not generated but robbed, violations towards anything to an Earth's original “system” (The ecology, and the natural systems, life-supporting.)

...But, in the book it then said, fx, also the following; 'U.S. Federal Government by way of the Department of the Interior/Bureau of Indian Affairs forced the Laguna Pueblo people to allow Anaconda to blast open the Earth near Paguate for an open-pit uranium mine. The tribe tried to resist but the Cold War politics fed the frenzy for uranium for atomic bombs.' ...Then is mentioned of Carole Gallagher's book American Ground Zero (which seems said provide a map from locations that got dusted with radioactive fallout during the U.S. Nuclear tests in Nevada), and also fx that, '...All (lower) forty-eight states have locations where radioactive fallout from these tests was detected more than once, although Nevada, Utah, Colorado, northern Arizona and New Mexico got the heaviest contamination.' ; ...Concerning that mine also fx; 'The Anaconda Company was not required to dispose of the radioactive tailings or store them safely to prevent contamination of the air or groundwater. ...A few years ago the tailings were finally buried beneath the piles of clean dirt, and now the weeds grow there profusely.'
Also; “Far more egregious abuses of the people by the U.S. Government during those years came to light during the Carter administration and in the 1990s when U.S. Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary declassified millions of pages of 'Top Secret' documents. ...Handicapped in boarding schools were secretly fed plutonium in their oatmeal, and poor black men in Alabama were secretly injected 'to see what would happen.' The aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had already showed us what would happen, these documented secret experiments of the 1950s and 1960s are more evidence that anything may be done by U.S.Government agents as long as the two words 'national security' are invoked.
...uranium was big business in the early 1950s; the Cold War and the U.S. Atomic production needed more uranium. For a few years prospectors descended on the Southwest with their Geiger counters over one shoulder like a purse. As a child I remember my father calling me over to look at a box full of rocks uranium prospector had in his jeep. ...” (; p. 69, 70-1.)
(The reason that I cite this much being that I think it easier to me from relate these aspect to the overall picture, or the general history. Not that much familiar on the said incidents from, formerly only from via few reads about the science histories relating to this.) But I think of had read some sources too that actually had but a reference on an existence about that mine on pueblo-land, fx.
--------------------------

; One then has, also, some remainders about the other places where somewhat similar incidents were seen taken place at begins that “nuclear-era” – The period launched by the US, of engineering those renown first bombs (Btw, oftenmost on some of the later histories told from, typical to, Nagasaki appears left out of a mention.) Also not much after was that also accompanied by several other nations, 'superpowers' of the time. (Or 'advanced powers' during an atomic-power worshiping 1950s.) Some of the most renown, but also still relative easily from forgotten incident, were the atomic bomb tests at that Bikini-atoll, Pacific, by the French. Of where the inhabitants/local peoples were then removed for safer distance only lot later within the media-covered Greenpeace-operation, by the 1980s. Or, from the nearby atolls, suppose. (Thank god, or from thank heavens, the overground testing was then globally banned sometime later...1990s? But indeed seems it never wasn't from the (indigenous) peoples sake – or of the potential estimable health threats to any peoples in overall - but due because that then had become unnecessary at the production from bombs.)

...Concerning some things in relating, or what I also recall of had somewhat earlier read from these histories (and now quite some time ago), I think can to this provide only briefer explanates – Even only of reason that I've not much wrote/otherways observed these aspects to my posts. (Despite of our occasional repeated sarcastic disclaimers cons the said industries and horrifications.) 
The most usual reason most people choose not to think about (those things) is of the most disturbing and 'unbalancing' hopelessness anything from nuclear past and 'present' seems still hold. It's actually even more horrific due because, I think, that seems for also often of tend represented to a sort of views on smght 'gone wrong, at the time'. ; I mean, reading from, it began to be felt of a bit like that, from those histories of the nuclear armaments production and the random mistakes which took place during the decades. Like told to some 'old good' tales, about. (Leaves one then also easily on without any very practical historical view to the whole lot else from.) ; Especially so, 'cause it's also a topic w. lot from caused human sufferances and neglect about – Such as was above on described, of what quoted from that Silko. ...And of elsewhere the histories that readable at.

But of the above reason, and given these conditions of ours here, I've mostly thought that not much an aspect we could gather anything from, except, perhaps something like this scattered notes now wrote. And there's books and papers about anyway.
; Yet, inspite that, that above referred also made me, a bit, wonder of whether the declassifying of those said documents finally then must've had an effect on the US nuclear-energies building program from been halted, at that time. (On the 1970s, and 1990s such as was mentioned)

...Also, then later read of that from the US/West European-based uranium companies fx to had maintained the similar – or even more endangering, devastating – mining systems and practices on Africa. (Some w. the aims for to fuel the subsequent production of the bombs.) And, I think the mines were operating until well late too, the recent times. (As I recall of had read from that also, fx of that book by Markham, published, about, ...2010?) ...Ao, there's lot on these histories too, from the elsewhere places, and probably what is not for near similarly of a general renown even to these days. ; Mostly something that one not usually comes by, or is from informed via the so called regular media. (...I don't know if it then for a quite that a great a 'blessing' that from presently, w. the webs and nets that peoples of usual remark to cons their obvious many benefits on that. If one needs to know, an 'information highway' the most easiest way for check about, these days. ; Also, of course, perhaps, the social networks and alike by nowadays are more readily usable and practical to find out about from these things too. ...But then there naturally always also arises the questions from about what we should think for the reliable, or what would appear for the trustable in the sources out forth.) 

 ; Pic (beside right, below), Australian Carpet Python (/Bredl's python, apparently.) 
- Of the pic I scanned from of book from reptiles and lizards. Don't recall the name from it [Halliday-Adler, 2004,...'suppose that it was.], to this instance; Anyway always thought the species of having most decorative colorations from. So by then thought of adding the pic on that post on then series from the endangered animal species (But those chapters were posted without pics, mostly. ...Since from because I thought that from all means more appropriate, cons that 'series'. You have the Nature's film and documentary - ao the tv-channels specifically broadcasting some, non-stop - all w. the more impressive looking species, some even exeeding anything imaginable, from the animal species from featured at...)
  
So, of that reason I'm also from bit more cautious on most what I happen to read from these aspect. Hence the reason here not very much of remarked on anything. (Won't explain the reasons from any more particular, but read the followin' paragraph, to have some idea from.) ; Consequently from, I only relate to a few chapters I read of that Wikipedia - And like said, my these reads were only plenty several years ago, for now. Perhaps there's the more complete data nowadays. Perhaps many from those incidents I read about, from their details are now better known to this day. 
 
But what then also becomes to the most notable – from reading that - is that a plenty lot actually did go, wrong. ; (Maybe most from listed 'examples' might've situated on the 1950s, or prior the 1970s, don't recall any timings of too specific anymore. ...See, on these days I also not anymore bother for this instance of to check too strick on and about, or from sort sorting out less relevant and most important on this mentioning. ; Reasons to me not from much diggin' the secrets from this history's 'forgotten' caveat-box appear pretty clear from due this before remarked secretivity and fear that always surrounds the topic. – Here we obviously wouldn't have much a possibility to tell what might've taken place. Not even if we'd gathered all the informations available, (ie the 'non-classified', supposedly available to be checked and made for the most calcutable estimates from.)

; Pic (on the right):  A moth (Some that rested on my garden flowers on evening, at some from former Summers, some years from now. ; Don't know what the name of it - But then brought me to check from any guidance of my book about butterfles and moths. (...Turned out the species that most seemed resembling that was from (some) it's naming a 'Gamma-moth'. - Don't think that for of the correct identification./ Or actually that species, so don't pay too much attention on that...)   


; But to some military accidents the list happened feature fx following 'case example' about some mistake where (about like the words, it said): '...an amount, boxful plutonium burned in the car's glove-box.' ; And, certainly for the more horrifying even, there mention of case where the nuclear blast (not tuned, of course) of accidentally fell to some very deep pit/hole on the grounds (,for never of being rediscovered.) Think it also mentioned the military then, for the case of security, then had the place surrounded to some prevention from tress-passers, or preventin' that, to the 'safe distances' only. (; But of course one has then the idea that hopefully warning signs were on place from that peculiar case-example to/from what could had happened. At least seems it give to these views a better practical understanding that the so called national security and militia, indeed, for not ever very well mix together.) ; ...Guess, I then also by recent noted of had viewed, by the recent sometime, of telly, some adventurist typical action-packed thriller that made the use for somewhat lot to a resembling plot-line for it's main idea – And maybe that was a 1980s film, btw. ...So to these limits of the sources, and from then of considered what estimable of such a story...I don't actually think we'd here any too good chances of make a say from it's reliability, actually.) - But I actually devoted some time and thought on from whether or not to mention this at all. However; there were also so many other similar/resemblant little 'case examples'. Several of the similar kinds, for the near catastrophes. ['though, not on the 'national grounds' - I think it had mention on many that had happened at the international sea areas, outside any nuclear weapons possessings country's own territorial sea-water areas. ; And in short, crimes against not just the global sea safety, but also against the global ecology. One might fx think that from concerning the nowadays lot talked about ecological threats to the polar zone areas. (Which are said for the most vulnerable w. the warming advancing. From concerning that those areas where any human impact so far has been limited, ecologically pristine areas, few parts of the world where ecology still 'strives', or until recent has, almost from on its original state.)] ; But these just for some reasons to, of why say this much, at the following.

”District NO 10.” ; ...Actually all from that felt for an adequate horrific, to make me lose my any nerve. (Which only appears to anyone the most reasonable reaction on this.) Even without any flicks and movies from w. that, nowadays to often standard, common story-plot.

; However 'loosing nerve', oftenmost, is also not of the near same as the loosin a sense from realism. So of noticing that kind of plots about the nuclear annihilations-threat seem from gotten to so 'regularized' a form on these days movies, and on other uses for the entertaintive medias, it also seems from gained on to sort from an idea to 'enlightening' the large masses about the madness of it all. – Obviously the masses whose minds are, apparently, then viewed from so receptive and voluntary on all that kind entertaintive handling from it. ; But I remark – cons about all that said stuff made on the same basic plot from; the terrorists, militarists, madmen – I recall no 'case example' of a flick about mad-woman, btw – The usual favored thematics to those seem also of the most often served a same basic idea, that about an unchanged belief for the progresses and the technological advances. (Setbacks may happen, seen taken place, and maybe the world becomes in danger for some time – But nothing seems prevent the idea about from that a such unavoidable technological day-dreams still have to be seen of to take place as the main 'gimmick' there for the fictional story-plots.) Doesn't that sound of quite...artificial?
; Let us leave that to that level, on these modern movies bad plots. ...Though I would've said it more for the precise – Unless it seems that we've already spend much time beyond my any intention on these topic.

Yet, still little said; Of what comes for these ever repeated variations made on to treat 'entertaintively' that uncircumnavigable issue at the humanity's 'path' - I'd far more rather see the ideas on the movies to more focused on the begins of this problema - Than from always built around it's potential to that devastating end. Would be less endangering. (Sorry to say, but these days I have little faith on my co-citizens capability from estimate what's real – and whats not. How's that then fromafter the fewsome decades of the technological advances and capitalistic capitalizing world economy, can't say.)
(; ...Dawkins on some his book, Ancestor's Tale I suppose it was, a bit speculates on the possibility from a nuclear catastrophe and notices, about like, that an unexpected mistake to result on a complete disaster remains low – But given the time and years, from counted of the emergence by this present age from the 'nuclear era' (,which was 1945-), a probability on his calculations increases by somewhat the most worrysome rate. ; ...A plain bold atheist, such as he seems be, I don't think he'd be the first of mystifying this aspect. ; Einstein perhaps appeared the likely scientists to know from about what the likehood for random mistakes could happen, of cons this topic discussed. Ask him.)

And from the history of a devasting incomprehensible, to any common sense, one easily gets the idea of how got created the 'nuclear illusion'. ; But in fact it's lot less discussed or contemplated about from the truth on that weaponry and it's non-militarist uses and techs. The truth simply that all sorts devastation could've already happened. And did happen, like we all know. ; Supposedly its too early say from any of that, that - probably - '...from the worst part over, we're on the winning side .'
; And the more modern technologies are not a safeguard to anything. You might just as well give the keys for the wine-cellar to drunkard who 'fairly promises'. Such as Lydia Maria Child so well did that formulate from. (...'though, on another instance.)

; Pic (on the right): Chinese Lantern - Or from more precisely, it's delicate shaped 'pods' that contain the seeds.They're quite lasting on room temperatures even. (...Sometimes of kept on outside at the garden, during winter Months the leafs-surrounding crumbles away, but the 'pod' still looks very nicely fractured on what remains for until the snows have melted away. Or, about until the freezin cold Months from ended.)

(; ...Once I also happened to read about of an incident where the energy production companies had, on some random misadventure dug from too deep, or in miscalculation at a place too close for volcanic activitet – Or something, again can't say to this or recall this to too much in detail – and the result was, of unexpected, that an earth was seen started pumping above grounds, to a many weeks time, or so, some liquid dirts. Large areas polluted whose basic cleaning then cost many millions, or more. Asia it was, some country, place. I wonder if the people living on area(s) ever received the actual compensation from spoilage. Or, suppose, but the pow that the devastating major harms were caused anyways. 'Guess we don't need to speculate if that ever gave any influence for reducing those companies effort to grasp any possible resources where them cheapest, only to some the technical fixation and improvement of equipment.) ; Not to say that any under-sea waters search or operations for the oil reserves to be exhausted wouldn't had a potential from similar direct risks too. (Or, some to the more destructive from.)

...By the way, once also read it noted that global warming of sometimes seemed from remarked of had showed an increased rate, on following to the World War-years. Ie times when the large amounts explosives had been used, and that apparent had added to the warming. (The first world war followed by the 1920s warm summers that the war-stricken peoples greeted w. the joyful relievance, etc. And the Gulf wars/Iraq wars having been followed on the 1990s and 2000s, of subsequently then from a bit more warm-up to a direct soon seen results of. ; ...Seemed that 2nd World War then was said of to 'break the rule', make some exception, since at least here in the North the followed decades were colder, winters to bitter more icy and snowy. To a possible reasons of, it was (shortly) speculated of whether the atom bombs on the late war years were the possible reason for resulted cold decades/the opposite 'trend'. ; While that not any proof from that the said explosions caused that, it useful add that what at least seems from easily provable and from apparent obvious – by plain - that any wars and military subservient 'experiments' for add up for a more enfastened warming. (In fact the longer climatic trends from estimated, seems it, maybe have of proven of different from that assumed 'minor nuclear winter'-effect. But that just with the obvious notice that an actual nuclear winter only would mean the end of the humanity.) The larger the conflict the bigger the climatic harm, seems it also: Given the modern level of advanced armaments and the human-engineered weapons technology – a singular limited conflict, of days, weeks, months time - probably ads quite as much on the 'thermometer' than some of those devastating mass-bombings on the earlier wars did. (The 1st World War usually renown not just of the gas masks and weapons but from the massive amount heavy shells shot during it's time.) That not so from reasons that the 'scale' on those would necessary be comparable - But of because the warming, by this time, has already lot advanced. – During the past some hundred years time that has passed since from First World War-times. (Notice, I write these too w. big alphabet. It's a common custom on English.) ; ...Of course it's then probably quite easy for show to 'some proofs' some calculations about how eco-savy are these modern 'model aeroplanes' and other advanced technologies built of the uses to similar mass murder. But as we all know generals rather usual tend lie about 'surgical strike' strategies and the 'tactical target bombs', quite as painlessly than about anything rel. for the former described nuclear histories. ; That even more actuelt today, indeed, since any conflict from enlenghtening, even little – and all conflicts of necessarily always do – warms up the planetary climate. (...Guess I say no more on - Think about that also cars, refrigerators, comps, also have the same effect - Something that your government scientists probably of quite painlessly agree to.)

And of being only honest; Of personally, can't invent any practical effective solution for the world's problem from the armaments except a complete dissolution from all the modern states and of the regional countries. Some kind of a planetary 'coalition', or union. But not anything like that there by now would seems for the close sight.
--------------- 
 
...Thenagain, of to return for this book I was on the early part discussing (After this, apparently, not at all unnecessary lenghty discussion on the armaments, etc.) Most on the book of course is from the variety other things. (The aforecited of that uranium-mine and other relevant histories from, cover only the pages between 69-75.)

; Beside pic; Detail/drawing on cover of Silko's other book, (novel, Almanac of the Dead.)

; Otherways it a personal memoir, combines within the amerindian ways of thought, histories, present and past, and the myths – If one then prefers use the 'standard' westerner conceptions for. (Guess that not quite much fits as the term. Yet, 'guess I couldn't define or express that w. any better word, of not being an amerindian myself.)

But the topics, for example, consisting amongst from; the rains, the desert (environment, plus Silko's walks on, etc.), and, not the least, snakes. And other things of interesting, but mostly for what I suppose not so well generally familiar on; From fx due because living at these distant cold corners of the world, and not on the arid heated 'desert land'. It's a sort of journey too, one could imagine. Has some plenty words on desert plant too. And on other sorts of the life and history that one without living, probably to some time, in the sort places can't have any comparably proper good idea from. At least I don't feel too simple anything of that enbriefed to this paragraphs limits.
Yet, what concerns the land often concerns the plants and vegetations. Mary Austin actually writes on the begins from her Land of the Journey's Ending (on 'Author's preface' to that 1924-book), and here the former posts mentioned, that 'Anybody can write a fact about a country, but nobody can write truth who does not take into account the sounds and swings of its native nomenclature.' ; Of the reason that my surroundings not for any direct similarity to those places, I don't too much think any of the environment that easy of me from describing to this. The silence and ubiquituosity of the Natures are some elements of desert, I imagine. But estimate of those things by yourself. The animals, vegetation has the important part from many chapters on it, too.

; ...Silko also fx writes one place of the heats at the Tucson-region by mid-Summer Months. And it sounds indeed quite unlike the 'temperate zone' standard heats, that we'd here from only by occasional experiencing. ; Also, this from a considerably watery region, even from any global comparisons of. Which also seems to me, I sometimes think, makes people (,maybe) by their casual looks to surrounding environment of occasional (almost) for think for that global 'climatic' problem wouldn't actually appear from affecting. ('Though, just noted on the recent few walks some aspects notably traceable to those climatic imbalances, or for the present irregularities on 'weathers', that having increased most obviously – But let us leave that for later some other chapter.) ; And maybe the peoples general failure not from recognize this issue for real – here as much as some places else - might someways also traceable just on that watery 'surplus' we still from have, sort of. ; In fact, in the original past this even was a lot more flooded a country, and, despite the more modern geologic changes; The landsrise and the human impacts, of many part it still remains for. ...And what that also then makes me from often think about, it's actually that water by the original natural characteristics to the real essence of these lands by my stay.

However relevant for added on preceded said, but seems it also of common noted about the certain resemblance at 'mythologies' of this country to the native american some - Some from the creation myths/stories of the origins at this Fennoscandian region and those from the indian explanations on begins of the 'world'. (Not with the most or with only some amongst, probably, though.) ; However about that in the more particular, the specialists from world mythologies seem also traced lots similarities on myths, around the world, from different continents at. – But I don't think that all to that view of so convincin'. Whatever the truth, there's obviously lot in common fx on the origin myths at many parts of the world. Some of the most numerous kinds appear centered/tell a story from the flood(s). (...Actually wish I'd paid bit more attentions on those topic at sometime before.)
--------------------

...Yet, Silko also writes on that about clouds. Also from watching those at the skies – smght, I also suppose, most us too rarely, maybe, tend devote some time for. ; ...I actually became quite acquainted to the clouds of some summers ago, when laying on my backyard, having a 'lazy moment' and observing those imaginative, little floating pillows at the skies. Actually, there was lots else from to see too; birds, their fine movement there. Amongst. At the time I had a little idea about the sky-folks, or other american indian beliefs that seem relate for such aspects – But the more I've read about anything like, the more lively much on that now seems from become.

In fact, actually, which was about some Months (or, only weeks...? Can't recall for this moment) fromafter I had read that Turquoise Ledge; ...I was then watching coincidentally the sky, by the berth, when I noticed that clouds were 'sailing' on relative low height. Weather was (probably) after the some rainier day, but the sky mostly clear, and clouds indeed seemed from, relative unusually to here, sail very low. Soon after I recognized those to make from quite the various shapes and forms (Some that I imagined.). Also there was their continuous, quite quick moving byside the nearby isles. 'Sailing low', and I was of course very fascinated, it felt to the most beautiful from watch those. Appeared even so thrilling that when I pointed my eyes for some particular cloud them seemed to moving more rapid, almost from.
Supposably, of course, maybe many people were watching or seeing those same clouds, by that said time. And, one might of course feel lot more blessed if remembering to glancing, once in a while, for the skies.
 --------------------

The modern science by sometimes also seems from imagine about some effective methods to capturing the energies that are released on the storms and lightning. [Not for any serious idea for. Smght sort from in close resemblance to the fallacious misconceptions and the resources unlimited exhaustment worshiping 'science"-theoretism, meant to hide away the real problem, or solutions to, of the clear sight. ...Something that also seems from have a close rememblance to the disastrous-sounding ideas under the label from 'climate engineering'.]  (; From the practical, realistic inventions, without any such 'hype', in the cities we often have the lightning conductors to protect humans from the 'rage' of the skies.) ; Practically sounds it very foolish, of course. As the scientific 'rationale' to an idea, maybe even just as foolish as anything on those above described armament histories. What would then happen for the weathers? Would there be even heavier storms? ; But obviously there's also lot from unknown at the storm clouds and on weathers formation. (And anyway, even given only this far seen level of the climate change, it not too unlike the future from reveal even more enfastened changes. Given rate the warming one can already feel assured about that.)

Anyway, some from amerindian beliefs cons the relatedness of the all Natures at least nowadays appear from somewhat more understandable to me than it was before. ; Meaning by that fx the interconnectedness of humanity and it's many surroundings, incl. also trees and the plant. (For example, Paula Gunn Allen, fx, one place writings collected on that Sacred Hoop, remarks: “When I was small my mother often told me...'Life is a circle , and everything has its place on it.' she would say. That's how I met the sacred hoop, ...integral part of my life, though I didn't know to call it that name, the early 1970s when I read John G.
